Job description

Metalis are working with a long-established manufacturing business, who are looking to add an experienced CNC / Manual Machinist to their small but skilled in-house team.

The role sits within the toolroom, supporting both production and maintenance. It's ideal for someone who enjoys varied, hands-on machining work, including one-off pieces and the repair/modification of specialist components.

What you'll be doing:

  • Operating CNC and manual machines (turning & milling)
  • Online programming and editing (primarily Fanuc and XYZ controls)
  • Supporting production by modifying, repairing, and maintaining precision parts/tooling
  • Reading and working from engineering drawings
  • Collaborating with other machinists and departments to support wider site operations

What we're looking for:

  • Strong CNC machining experience (Fanuc essential)
  • Confident with both manual and CNC lathes/mills
  • Comfortable editing programs at the machine (online)
  • Able to read and interpret engineering drawings
  • CAD/CAM (SolidWorks) experience is a bonus, not a dealbreaker
  • Ideally apprentice-trained, but time-served candidates also considered

Hours & Pay:

  • Flexible shifts being considered - current setup includes a core day shift, but early and late shifts could be introduced in future to suit the team
  • Average earnings c. £37,113 including base rate, shift supplement, and attendance bonus (all paid on holidays too)

Why consider it?

  • Stable and well-respected employer
  • Hands-on, practical role with variety day-to-day
  • Good sick pay policy

If you're a capable machinist looking for a long-term move with a solid employer, feel free to apply or drop me a message for more info.
