Job Description:
Manual Turner
A well-established hydraulic engineering company based in Dewsbury is looking to recruit a skilled Manual Turner to join its modern and well-equipped machine shop.
With over 35 years of experience in the fluid power industry, the company specialises in the design, manufacture, supply and repair of high-quality hydraulic equipment including cylinders, pumps, motors, valves and power packs. The business focuses on specialist, high-end bespoke work and low-volume production, offering an interesting and varied workload rather than repetitive mass production.
The Role
Working within a large in-house engineering and hydraulics workshop, you will be responsible for producing precision-machined components, mainly one-off and small batch parts (1–10 pieces) used in hydraulic cylinders and associated equipment.
This role would suit someone who enjoys precision work, problem-solving and variety, as much of the work is bespoke and requires a high level of skill and attention to detail.
Key Responsibilities
* Operating manual lathes to produce precision components
* Producing one-off and small batch components
* Working from engineering drawings and samples
* Carrying out screw cutting and general turning operations
* Managing your own workload and working to production schedules
* Maintaining high quality and accuracy standards
What We’re Looking For
* Previous experience as a Manual Turner / Manual Machinist
* Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings
* Experience producing bespoke or low-volume components
* Ideally some experience with NC lathe work
* A proactive and self-motivated approach to work
What’s On Offer
* Competitive salary (depending on experience)
* Overtime opportunities available
* Modern, well-equipped machine shop
* Supportive engineering team environment
* Varied and interesting work on specialist hydraulic equipment
* Long-term stability with an established engineering business
* Part-time hours may be considered for the right candidate
If you are an experienced Manual Turner looking to work on high-quality bespoke engineering projects within a well-established and respected company, we would love to hear from you
