Contract: Full-time, permanent

If you are a CNC Setter Operator and want a role where you can get on with the job without constant firefighting, this is worth a look.
You'll be joining a large, well invested manufacturing site in Rotherham, producing precision parts for industries including defence, rail and heavy engineering. The work is varied, the machines are modern, and the expectation is simple. Set it right and run it properly.
What the role looks like day to day:
You'll be working on vertical CNC milling machines, setting, operating and making adjustments to keep everything running as it should.
This is not a button pushing role. You'll be expected to understand what you're doing, read drawings properly, and take ownership of the work you produce.
What you will be doing: Setting and operating CNC milling machines.
Programming or editing programmes where required.
Loading materials and setting tools correctly.
Monitoring machine performance and making adjustments.
Inspecting parts to ensure they meet required tolerances.
Using measuring equipment to check accuracy.
Troubleshooting issues during production.
Keeping machines clean, safe and running efficiently.
What they are looking for: Experience as a CNC Setter Operator or Machinist.
Experience working with Fanuc controls.
Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings.
Confident using measuring equipment.
A practical, problem-solving mindset.
Strong attention to detail.
This role suits someone who takes pride in their work. If you prefer to just load and press go, it won't be the right fit.
Why people move into this role:
You're not walking into a disorganised shop floor. This is a well-established operation with consistent work, good equipment and clear processes. You'll be part of a team that understands machining and expects a good standard.
Alongside that, there is genuine opportunity to develop your skills and progress technically over time.
What you get: £14.30 to £22.00 per hour depending on experience.
Overtime available.
33 days holiday including bank holidays.
Company pension and life assurance.
Healthcare scheme.
Reduced gym membership.
Monthly incentives and referral bonuses.
Ongoing training and development.
Free secure on-site parking
