Apply NowManufacturing Engineer / CNC Programmer
Advanced CNC | 3, 4 & 5-Axis | Aerospace
Romford, Essex
£35,000 - £40,000
Complex components. Advanced machining. Real engineering ownership.
A well-invested aerospace precision engineering business is growing its engineering team and is looking for an experienced Manufacturing Engineer / CNC Programmer to take ownership of programming, process development and manufacturing optimisation.
This is far more than a programming role. You’ll have genuine influence over how complex aerospace components are manufactured, developing processes, tooling, fixtures and setup strategies to deliver first-time-right production.
The Role
* Create, optimise and prove 3, 4 and 5-axis CNC programmes
* Develop manufacturing processes, routings and setup strategies
* Design and implement work-holding and fixture solutions
* Select tooling and optimise machining processes
* Drive first-time-right production and reduce manufacturing inefficiencies
* Support the introduction of new aerospace components into manufacture
* Work closely with Production, Quality and Engineering teams
* Identify and implement continuous improvement opportunities
What You’ll Bring
* Proven CNC programming experience within precision engineering
* Strong understanding of 3, 4 and 5-axis machining
* Experience developing manufacturing methods and setup strategies
* Ability to interpret complex engineering drawings and specifications
* Aerospace manufacturing experience is highly desirable
* Hypermill experience would be advantageous
Why This Role?
This is an opportunity to move beyond simply writing programmes and become a key part of the manufacturing engineering process.
You’ll be solving real machining challenges, improving processes and influencing manufacturing standards while working on technically demanding aerospace components.
On offer:
* Highly competitive salary
* Healthcare benefits
* Flexible working hours
* Generous holiday allowance
* Genuine engineering ownership and influence
If you’re a Manufacturing Engineer / CNC Programmer who wants to work on complex components, tight tolerances and genuinely interesting engineering, this could be a very strong next move.
