CNC Citizen Sliding Head Setter – Training Provided Location: Fareham Position: Full-Time, Permanent Shift: Early or Late shifts available (Flexible options) Salary: Competitive (Dependent on experience) Overtime Benefits The Opportunity Are you a precision-driven CNC Machinist? Whether you are already a Citizen Cincom specialist or a highly skilled CNC Turner looking to transition into the elite world of Sliding Head (Swiss-type) machining, we have a place for you. Based at our modern facility in Fareham, you will be responsible for setting and proving out complex, high-precision components on our fleet of Citizen machines (L12/L32/A32). This is a role for a "thinking" machinist—someone who enjoys the challenge of multi-channel synchronization and tight tolerances. Why Join Us? Invest in Your Future: If you haven’t worked on Sliding Heads before, we provide the path to becoming a specialist in one of the most sought-after skills in the industry. Modern Fleet: Work with industry-leading Citizen Cincom technology and Fanuc controls. Stable & Growing: Permanent role with a healthy order book across small to medium batch sizes. What You’ll Be Doing Set & Prove Out: Full setup of Citizen sliding head lathes, including tooling, collets, guide bushes, and work offsets. Optimize: Fine-tune feeds, speeds, and toolpaths to reduce cycle times and maximize tool life. Quality First: Use precision metrology tools to ensure every part meets drawing specifications (FAIRs). Problem Solve: Troubleshoot chip control, surface finish issues, and runout on complex geometries. What We’re Looking For The Technical Core: You must be a "Time-Served" or NVQ Level 3 qualified machinist with a strong background in CNC Turning (Fanuc). The "Swiss" Edge: Ideally, you have experience with Citizen Sliding Heads. However, if you are a Fixed-Head Setter who is "tech-savvy" and eager to learn the sliding head process, we want to talk to you. Detail Oriented: Ability to read complex engineering drawings and GD&T like a second language. Adaptability: Comfortable working on small to medium batches where precision is non-negotiable. Benefits Competitive hourly rate with regular reviews. Choice of Early or Late shifts to suit your lifestyle. Clean, organized working environment (5S). Career progression opportunities within a growing production team. Ready to take the next step in your machining career? Apply today with your CV or contact Maks () for a confidential chat.
