CNC Operator / Programmer – Precision Engineering – Coventry

Coventry, Warwickshire | £19–£20 per hour (£40,000–£42,000 advertised annual range) + overtime and bonuses | Monday–Thursday 07:30–16:30, Friday 07:30–12:30 | Permanent

We are working with a well-established, family-run precision engineering business that has been trading for over 50 years.

The company is consistently busy, producing prototype and one-off components for the defence, aerospace and automotive sectors.

We are looking for a CNC Operator / Programmer to join a small, highly skilled team. You will be programming, setting and running both CNC lathes and mills, moving between turning and milling as the work demands, and producing complex, tight-tolerance parts from drawings.

This role would suit a hands-on CNC engineer from a jobbing, toolroom or prototype background who loves a challenge and takes real pride in the parts they make.

No two days are the same, and as part of a close-knit, friendly family business you will be a valued member of the team.

Responsibilities

Program, set and operate CNC lathes and milling machines (Haas).

Produce prototype and low-volume, high-precision components, including castings work.

Work from engineering drawings to tight tolerances.

Problem-solve with the floor manager and the wider team to get jobs right first time.

Skills & Qualifications

Hands-on CNC programming, setting and operating experience on both turning and milling.

A background in jobbing, toolroom, prototype or varied work, rather than high-volume production.

A genuine passion for machining and enjoyment in working things out for yourself.

A team player who will fit into a close-knit, friendly family business.

Experience in defence, aerospace or automotive, or on Haas or Mazak controls, would be a bonus but isn't essential.

Benefits

£19–£20 per hour depending on experience.

Monday–Thursday 07:30–16:30, Friday 07:30–12:30.

Paid overtime, including early weekday starts and Saturday mornings.

Annual pay rise, year-end bonus and Christmas bonus.

A secure, long-term, permanent position with a company that's been going strong for over 50 years.

The interview process is a face-to-face interview followed by a half-day practical trial on the shop floor.
