CNC Turner
Waterlooville
Permanent
5S Recruitment is working with a specialist engineering business seeking an experienced CNC Turner to join its machine shop in Waterlooville.
This is not a repetitive production role. You will manufacture one-off and low-volume precision components for specialist historic and classic vehicle restoration, repair and bespoke engineering projects. The work is varied, technically demanding and suited to a CNC Turner who takes pride in owning a component from drawing through to finished inspection.
The role
Programme, set and operate a 3-axis CNC lathe with live tooling.
Create and edit Fanuc programs both online and offline.
Interpret engineering drawings, CAD data and technical specifications.
Select suitable tooling, workholding, speeds, feeds and machining strategies.
Set work and tool offsets and establish accurate datum positions.
Produce components to tight dimensional tolerances and specified surface finishes.
Complete first-off inspection and make any necessary program or tooling adjustments.
Inspect finished components using micrometers, verniers, bore gauges and other precision measuring equipment.
What is on offer
A permanent CNC Turner position within a specialist environment where the work is varied, the components matter and technical ability is valued. You will have the opportunity to use your programming and machining experience on distinctive engineering projects rather than high-volume repetitive production.
What we are looking for
Strong experience programming, setting and operating CNC lathes.
Confident Fanuc programming capability.
Experience using live tooling on a 3-axis lathe.
The ability to work independently from detailed engineering drawings.
Experience producing one-off or low-volume precision components.
A strong understanding of tooling, workholding, speeds and feeds.
Confident first-off and final inspection skills.
A careful, quality-focused approach with strong attention to detail.
