Job Description
Are you a skilled CNC Operator looking for your next opportunity in the heart of Stoke-on-Trent’s manufacturing sector? labourer.agency is currently partnering with a leading precision engineering firm based in ST1 to find a dedicated and proficient CNC machinist for an immediate start. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, quality-focused environment and is looking for a position that offers not just a job, but a pathway to consistent work and career development. Our client operates state-of-the-art CNC machinery, producing high-specification components for the automotive, aerospace, and general engineering industries. This is a fantastic chance to join a well-respected local employer who values skill, reliability, and a strong work ethic.
Applying through labourer.agency gives you a significant advantage. We act as your local advocate, connecting you directly with hiring managers in Stoke-on-Trent’s industrial landscape. Unlike applying directly to companies where your CV can get lost, we provide personalised support, from interview preparation to negotiating your pay rate. We understand the specific demands of CNC operating roles in the Potteries area and can match your experience with the right client. Whether you’re seeking a short-term assignment to fill a gap or a long-term temp-to-perm role that offers stability, we have the network to make it happen. This is more than just a staffing placement; it’s a partnership designed to advance your career in manufacturing.
Key Responsibilities
- Set up, program, and operate CNC milling and turning centres (3, 4, and 5-axis) according to technical drawings and specifications.
- Perform first-off and in-process inspections using precision measuring equipment (micrometers, verniers, CMM) to ensure components meet tight tolerances and quality standards.
- Conduct routine maintenance on machines, including tool changes, coolant management, and basic troubleshooting to minimise downtime.
- Interpret complex engineering drawings, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), and work instructions to produce parts accurately and efficiently.
- Maintain a clean, safe, and organised work area in line with company health, safety, and environmental policies.
What We're Looking For
- Proven experience as a CNC Operator or CNC Machinist, with a strong understanding of G-code/M-code programming and Fanuc or Siemens controls.
- Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and technical documentation with a keen eye for detail.
- A proactive and reliable approach to work, with a strong commitment to health and safety protocols in an industrial setting.
- Own transport is highly advantageous due to the location of the Stoke-on-Trent ST1 site, though public transport links are available.
Salary & Benefits
We believe in rewarding skill and dedication fairly. The pay rate for this CNC Operator role is competitive and will be discussed transparently based on your level of experience, specific qualifications, and the shift pattern. It is designed to attract top talent in the Stoke-on-Trent area. In addition to a good rate of pay, benefits of working through labourer.agency include:
- Weekly Pay: Get paid reliably every week, without delay.
- Holiday Pay Accrual: Your statutory holiday pay is managed for you.
- Temp-to-Perm Pathway: This temporary role offers a genuine opportunity for a permanent position with the client for performers who excel.
