We are working with a well-established, high-precision engineering business in West Sussex who are looking to add an experienced CNC Machinist to their machine shop.
This is not a standard CNC role. The position sits within a highly skilled, hands-on environment where machinists are responsible for programming, setting and running their own work on complex components.
The company operates in a fast-paced, high-value manufacturing setting, producing precision parts where attention to detail and accuracy are critical.
The Role
* Programming, setting and operating CNC machines
* Working with multi-axis machinery (including 5-axis)
* Producing complex, high-precision components
* Interpreting engineering drawings and specifications
* Adjusting programs and setups to maintain quality and accuracy
* Working independently on the shop floor while contributing to a skilled team
What We’re Looking For
* Proven experience as a CNC Machinist (not just operator level)
* Hands-on experience with programming, setting and running machines
* Exposure to 5-axis machining (or strong multi-axis experience)
* Comfortable working to tight tolerances and high standards
* Strong problem-solving ability on the shop floor
* Confident working independently and taking ownership of jobs
The Environment
* Skilled and supportive machine shop team
* High-value, precision-focused work
* Stable business with strong reputation in its sector
* Opportunity to work on technically interesting components
This role would suit an experienced machinist who enjoys being hands-on, takes pride in producing high-quality work, and is looking to join a strong, well-run engineering environment.
