Senior CNC Machinist Build brilliant things. Break stuff (occasionally). Fix it better. Repeat. We're UCL Mechanical Engineering - one of the oldest and most respected engineering departments in the UK. We've been doing this since 1847, and we're still at it: designing cleaner engines, building solar power stations out of featherweight materials, and figuring out how blood cells behave in spaces smaller than a human hair. Now we need someone who knows their way around a workshop. Someone who can take a sketch, raise an eyebrow, and say, "I can make that better." Someone who's not afraid of a challenge, doesn't need hand-holding, and can talk shop with professors and students alike. What you'll actually be doing: * Making custom parts for research rigs, student projects, and experimental setups. * Fixing, tweaking, and improving lab equipment - combustion engines, wave tanks, and all sorts of bespoke gear. * Talking through ideas with academics and students, then turning those ideas into solid, working kit. * Advising on materials, design tweaks, and how to make things run smoother, stronger, and smarter. * Using machines like mills, lathes, EDM, water-jet cutters, grinders, and 3D printers. If you haven't used them all, we'll train you up. * Helping out with bigger department projects - refurbishing labs, setting up new spaces, and hitting deadlines when things get busy. Who we're ...
