About Euroscot Engineering

Since 1969, Euroscot Engineering has been producing high\-tolerance precision components from Hillington Park, Glasgow. The components you machine here go into defence systems, satellite structures, advanced electronics and aerospace applications — industries where accuracy is a contract requirement, not an aspiration.

In 2025 we moved into a new facility at Hillington Park — bright, modern and equipped for the next stage of our growth. We hold ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 accreditations and operate 3 to 5\-axis milling centres, multi\-axis turning and sliding head machines.

The Role

We’re looking for a skilled CNC Miller to take ownership of producing complex, tight\-tolerance components for some of the UK’s most demanding industries. You’ll work on modern 3 to 5\-axis machining centres — programming, setting, fixturing and running your own work with a high degree of autonomy.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Programming, setting and operating CNC milling machines using Heidenhain, Fanuc and/or WinMax controls

  • Multi\-axis machining — 3, 4 and 5\-axis — proving out programs and running high\-precision components

  • Designing and manufacturing custom fixturing solutions to optimise machining efficiency

  • Self\-inspecting finished components and interpreting CMM inspection reports

  • Offline programming using OneCNC, Edgecam or similar CAD/CAM software

  • Identifying and implementing process improvements in line with Lean, 5S and Kaizen principles

  • Maintaining a clean, safe and well\-organised workspace in line with ISO 45001
What You’ll Bring — Essential
  • Proven experience programming, setting and operating CNC milling machines

  • Competent in either Heidenhain, Fanuc or WinMax controls

  • Able to read and interpret engineering drawings accurately

  • Experience producing components to tight geometric tolerances in a precision environment

  • Strong problem\-solving approach — able to diagnose and resolve machining, tooling and programming issues

  • Commitment to safety, quality and continuous improvement
What You’ll Bring — Advantageous
  • Experience in defence, aerospace, satellite or electronics manufacturing

  • 5\-axis machining and fixturing design experience

  • Offline CAD/CAM programming (OneCNC, Edgecam or similar)

  • Familiarity with CMM inspection reports

  • Knowledge of Lean manufacturing, 5S or Kaizen methodologies

  • Time\-served apprenticeship or equivalent engineering qualification
The Kind of Person We’re Looking For

Beyond the technical skills, we look for people who bring the right approach to work:

✔ Tenacity — a determined approach to problem\-solving and continuous improvement

✔ Diplomacy — strong communication and team collaboration skills

✔ Leadership \& Influence — the ability to contribute positively to the team and motivate those around you

✔ Growth Mindset — a willingness to learn, adapt and develop alongside a growing business

✔ Housekeeping \& Organisation — genuine commitment to a clean, safe and well\-run workspace

What We Offer
  • Competitive salary, fully negotiable depending on your experience

  • Premium rates for overtime and night shift work

  • Company pension scheme

  • Generous annual leave entitlement

  • Ongoing training and professional development opportunities

  • Modern, purpose\-built workshop at Hillington Park, Glasgow

  • Work that matters — your components go into defence, satellite and aerospace systems
Pay: £15\.00\-£25\.00 per hour

Work Location: In person
