Adept Resourcing are recruiting on behalf of a long-established, high integrity manufacturing client for a Machinist to join their CTS (Central Testing Services) laboratory team.
This is not production machining and it's not about chasing cycle times.
It's about accuracy, traceability, and doing the job properly.
What the job actually is
You'll be part of a small, skilled lab team preparing metal test samples for mechanical and metallurgical testing.
In simple terms, you will:
* Cut metal samples to plan
* Machine test pieces using manual and CNC lathes, mills and grinders
* Work from drawings and sample instructions
* Measure, inspect and sign off your work
* Maintain full traceability and paperwork
* Hand samples over ready for testing
This is one off and small batch work, not mass production.
What they're looking for
You don't need to be a CNC programmer or a production specialist.
They're looking for a good all round machinist who takes pride in accuracy.
You'll need:
* Experience with manual machining
* Some exposure to CNC operation (setting, running, measuring)
* Ability to read drawings and work to tight tolerances
* A calm, methodical approach
* A strong attitude to quality, safety and paperwork
Hours & pay
* Days only (6am-2pm / 10am-6pm rotation)
* Circa £34,500 plus 5% shift allowance
