Job Ref: 026/02197
Salary: £14.63 - £16.25 per hour
Machine Operator – CNC
Location: Sandbach
Pay: £13.00 – £16.25 per hour
Hours: Full-time, Monday to Friday
Overtime available
Driver Hire Crewe are currently recruiting for Machine Operators with some previous CNC experience to join a well-established local manufacturing company.
This is a great opportunity for someone who already has some basic experience operating machinery and is looking to develop their skills further. Full training will be provided, so you don’t need to be an experienced CNC setter or programmer.
Working Hours
You will initially work on the day shift while completing your training:
- Monday to Thursday: 07:30 – 16:30
- Friday: 07:30 – 12:30
Once your initial training has been completed, you will move onto shift work.
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.
