The Company
Contek Recruitment Solutions are representing an established precision engineering business based in Billericay, Essex, who are looking to recruit a CNC Turner Setter / Operator due to continued growth and the creation of a new position within the business.
The company operates a modern CNC machining facility, producing precision components for a diverse range of industries. Their machining capabilities include both sliding-head and fixed-head CNC turning, alongside CNC milling, with a strong focus on quality and precision.
This is a small team of around 12 people, offering the successful candidate the opportunity to become an important part of the business rather than simply another number within a large production environment.
The Role
The successful CNC Turner will be responsible for setting and operating CNC turning machinery, producing precision components to drawing and specification.

Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
- Setting and operating CNC turning machinery
- Working on Citizen sliding-head CNC machinery or Fanuc-controlled fixed-head lathes
- Editing existing CNC programmes at the machine
- Reading and interpreting engineering drawings
- Setting tooling, offsets and workholding

- Carrying out first-off and in-process inspection
- Using measuring equipment to check component quality
- Making necessary adjustments to maintain quality and accuracy
- Working from engineering drawings and production information

About You
The ideal candidate will have previous experience setting and operating CNC turning machinery within a precision engineering or manufacturing environment.
Programming experience is not essential, as CNC programmes are generated offline. The key requirement is someone who is confident with setting, operating and editing programmes at the machine.
Experience with either Citizen sliding-head machinery or Fanuc-controlled fixed-head turning would be advantageous, although candidates with strong CNC turning experience on other controls and machinery will also be considered.
