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.
Why This Role Stands Out
- Permanent position in a growing engineering business
- Strong internal promotion culture
- Clear pay band progression linked to performance
- Investment in training and development
- Modern facilities and structured leadership
- Overtime available for those who want to increase earnings
- Supportive, team-focused environment
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.
