VMC Setter – Fanuc
Wolverhampton
Permanent | Monday to Friday | Day Shifts
Salary is dependant on experience
Are you an experienced VMC Setter or CNC Setter looking for a permanent, days-based role with an established UK manufacturer?
This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys the hands-on side of CNC machining and wants a role where you'll be trusted to take ownership of your own set-ups.
Working within a busy manufacturing environment, you'll be responsible for setting VMCs for predominantly small-batch production, producing first-offs and making the necessary adjustments to ensure components are machined accurately and efficiently.
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.
This is mainly a setting role rather than programming from scratch, with the opportunity to develop your experience further across 5-axis machining.
What you'll be doing
- Setting VMCs ready for small-batch production runs
- Setting tooling, fixtures, workholding and offsets for each job
- Loading existing CNC programs and making adjustments where needed
- Producing first-offs, checking your work and making sure everything is right before production
- Working from engineering drawings and using verniers, micrometres and gauges to check components
- Keeping jobs running smoothly, monitoring quality and dealing with tooling or machining issues as they arise
