Location: West Sussex
Hours: Monday to Friday, Day Shift (40 hours)
Pay: Up to £22.00 per hour
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
