Are you a highly skilled CNC Machinist who wants more than just “another job on the shop floor”?

We’re representing a growing, high-precision engineering business in East Kent that has expanded significantly in recent years and continues to invest heavily in its people, equipment and facilities.

This is a permanent opportunity within a modern, well-structured manufacturing environment where experienced machinists are genuinely valued as technical specialists — not just machine operators.

The Role

You will be trusted to:

  • Program, set and operate CNC mills and lathes

  • Manufacture complex, high-precision components

  • Interpret detailed engineering drawings

  • Support tooling and fixture development

  • Solve technical machining challenges

  • Contribute to continuous improvement and best practice

This is a role for someone confident in their craft — someone who enjoys accuracy, problem-solving and delivering quality work consistently.

This is not a stagnant environment — performance is recognised and progression is genuinely achievable.

What We’re Looking For

  • Several years’ CNC machining experience in a precision setting

  • Strong programming and setting capability

  • Ability to work from complex drawings

  • High standards and attention to detail

  • Professional, team-oriented attitude

Experience with advanced controls or multi-axis machining is advantageous, but solid core machining expertise is key.

What’s In It For You?

  • Reputable, established business who invest in their workforce

  • Excellent facilities

  • Generous benefits

  • Opportunities to earn more through overtime

  • Genuine progression

  • Sociable hours including every other Friday off!

If you’re looking for long-term stability, progression and the opportunity to be part of a growing engineering business that will invest in you — we would love to speak with you.
