4 shifts per week, Monday to Thursday
Focus on premium quality. Friendly, encouraging environment, not high-pressure production

Real opportunity to develop programming skills.
Producing premium quality patented products which truly make a difference to peoples’ lives.
The Opportunity
We’re recruiting for experienced CNC Turner Setter Operators to join a long-established, precision engineering company who have been producing their own premium quality products in Tewkesbury for over 60 years.
These are CNC turning-focused roles working on high-precision components in a clean, organised and well-equipped machine shop. The patented products you’ll be making will go on to truly make a difference in peoples’ lives.
You’ll be joining a business where people stay long-term, with vacancies only arising through growth or retirement rather than turnover.
With plans in place for the company to grow over the next five years, you’ll have the opportunity to develop your career in the direction you want – this might be taking on more responsibility, or developing your CNC programming skills if that’s a path you would like to take.
Pay & Shifts
Day Shift
Monday – Thursday: 4:30pm – 2:45am
Salary: To give you an idea, the salary budget for these roles will be around £39,500 to £50,000 per annum but please do get in touch with your earnings requirements. The broad salary range is to welcome machinists with a wide range of experience so if you have just a few years under your belt or if you have more skills and experience, we will welcome your application.
Salaries are reviewed regularly taking your progression into account and you will have the opportunity to earn a lot more than this.
