The Role
We're looking for a hands-on Machine Shop Foreman / Supervisor to lead and support our skilled workshop team. This is not a desk-based role — you'll be actively involved on the shop floor, helping engineers solve machining challenges and ensuring smooth day-to-day operations.
The ideal candidate will have a solid background in precision engineering, with experience in either CNC milling/programming (3 & 4 axis) OR conventional/manual machining, such as manual milling, turning, or horizontal boring.
You'll act as a key point of contact on the workshop floor, using your expertise to support with problem-solving, oversee quality, and help drive efficiency.

Key Responsibilities:
* Provide day-to-day leadership and technical support to engineers in the machine shop
* Troubleshoot machining issues and assist with setup, tooling, or programming queries
* Ensure jobs are progressing on time and to the highest standards
* Step in to assist with machining when needed (CNC or manual)
* Support other departments when required – e.g. assisting the quality inspection team with measurement and inspection tasks to help meet tight deadlines
* Monitor quality, workflow, and performance across the shop floor
* Help implement process improvements and promote a culture of continuous improvement
* Liaise with management and engineering teams on capacity, priorities, and deadlines
* Ensure a safe, clean, and productive working environment

* Natural problem solver with a high level of technical knowledge
* Someone who leads by example and supports others when needed
* Organised and calm under pressure, with a keen eye for quality and detail
* Excellent communication skills and a strong sense of accountability
CNC Machine Shop Foreman / Supervisor
What We Offer:

* Monday to Friday working hours with early Friday finish
* A varied and engaging role in a growing, multi-disciplinary business
* Supportive team culture and opportunities to develop your leadership skills
* Exposure to a wide variety of projects across multiple industries
This is an excellent opportunity for a highly experienced machinist or programmer looking to step into a leadership role — or for someone already supervising who wants to join a forward-thinking and dynamic company.
