Description

CNC Machinist / Setter
Ayrshire | Permanent | Day Shift

An established engineering business in Ayrshire is looking to add an experienced CNC Machinist to its machine shop.

This is a hands-on role suited to someone who is confident setting up CNC machines, working from technical drawings, and machining components in stainless steel and aluminium. The environment is low-volume, high-quality work with a strong focus on process, accuracy and continuous improvement rather than production firefighting.

You will be working alongside a small team of junior operators, helping to raise standards, improve set-ups, and pass on practical knowledge on the shop floor.

What they're looking for

  • Time-served CNC Machinist with solid setting experience

  • Strong understanding of stainless steel and aluminium

  • Confident reading and working from engineering drawings

  • Comfortable carrying out first-off and in-process inspection

  • Practical, quality-focused mindset

  • Happy mentoring and supporting less experienced operators

The role

  • CNC machine set-up and operation

  • Supporting process and quality improvements

  • Working closely with engineering and quality functions

  • Day shift with flexibility on start and finish times

  • Overtime available

This is a long-term opportunity within a growing, privately owned business that values quality, ideas, and doing things properly.
