  • Identify and implement continuous improvement opportunities
  • \n

  • Strong understanding of 3, 4 and 5-axis machining
  • \n

  • Experience developing manufacturing methods and setup strategies

  • Hypermill experience would be advantageous
  • \n

\n

Why This Role?

\n

This is an opportunity to move beyond simply writing programmes and become a key part of the manufacturing engineering process.

\n

You’ll be solving real machining challenges, improving processes and influencing manufacturing standards while working on technically demanding aerospace components.

\n

On offer:

\n

    \n
  • Highly competitive salary
  • \n

  • Healthcare benefits
  • \n

  • Flexible working hours
  • \n

  • Generous holiday allowance
