CNC Turner (Monday to Thursday)

Ferndown, Bournemouth
Are you a CNC Turner with setting and operating experience, looking to work a 4 day week Monday to Thursday for a thriving engineering company offering a good package and a long-term stability?
On offer is the opportunity to join a well-established precision engineering business that provides CNC turning, CNC milling, design for manufacture, assembly, stock holding, and quality assurance services. The company produces complex machined components and assemblies for a range of technical sectors including aerospace, nuclear, power generation, water purification, air bearings, and automotive.
In this varied role, you will set and operate CNC turning machines, work from engineering drawings, set tooling and offsets, and produce precision components to tight tolerances. You will carry out first-off and in-process checks, and ensure components are manufactured accurately and to the required quality standards.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
