Innovative Clean Energy Technology Business
An innovative clean energy technology business is developing next-generation power systems designed to support the global transition away from fossil fuels. Operating at the intersection of advanced engineering, prototype development, and precision manufacturing, the business is expanding its technical capability to support continued growth.
We’re Looking for a Senior Machinist
We’re looking for an experienced Senior Machinist to take a lead role within the machine shop. You’ll manage CNC programming and machining operations, CAD/CAM design work, tooling management, and precision component manufacture, playing a vital part in delivering complex engineered hardware.
This role would suit a skilled machinist who is comfortable working independently, contributing to design decisions, and taking ownership of machine shop capability, output quality, and continuous improvement.
Responsibilities Include:
- Programming, setting, and operating 3 and 5-axis CNC machinery to produce high-precision components
- Using CAD/CAM software (Fusion 360 / SolidWorks) to create and optimize machining programs, fixtures, and components
- Machining complex prototype and low-volume engineered components, including exotic and high-performance materials
- Operating manual turning and milling machinery where required
- Managing tooling, materials, and consumables inventory to support machine shop output
- Maintaining accurate machining records, crib sheets, and build documentation
- Contributing to design reviews, manufacturability discussions, and route-to-manufacture planning
- Supporting the development and continuous improvement of machine shop capability
- Supporting prototype builds, test hardware, and subsystem manufacture where required
