The CNC Machining and Manufacturing Technician is responsible for the production of aerospace-grade fasteners, precision components, and complex assemblies used across a variety of industries. These industries include automotive, aerospace, medical, defence, motorsport, sub-sea oil and gas, research and development, and power generation.
This role involves operating advanced manufacturing equipment and processes to produce high-quality components according to engineering drawings and strict customer specifications. The position requires a strong understanding of machining processes, materials, and quality standards to ensure that all manufactured parts meet required tolerances and performance requirements.
The technician will work with a range of materials including low carbon steels, high-strength alloys, and exotic materials such as titanium and super duplex. The role also involves collaborating with team members, line leaders, and managers to ensure production targets, quality standards, and health and safety requirements are consistently achieved.
Key Responsibilities
CNC Machining Operate and support the machining of components using CNC equipment, producing parts directly from engineering drawings and customer specifications. Equipment may include CNC Turning Centres (Fanuc and Siemens), sliding head machines (Fanuc), Vertical Machining Centres (Fanuc and Siemens), and Electro Discharge Machining (EDM) systems. The technician must ensure that machining processes produce accurate components that meet required tolerances and finish standards.
Forging Carry out the hot forming of aerospace fasteners and components using induction heating and mechanical press equipment. This process forms metal components to the required shape while maintaining the structural integrity and strength required for high-performance applications.
Grinding Perform centreless grinding operations to refine forged and machined components. This process ensures components achieve precise dimensions, high surface finishes, and strict tolerance requirements necessary for aerospace and precision engineering standards.
Electro Discharge Machining (EDM) Operate EDM equipment to perform specialised machining operations including EDM drilling, EDM die sinking (spark erosion), and EDM wire cutting. These techniques allow for the accurate machining of complex geometries and hard materials that are difficult to machine using conventional methods.
Thread Rolling Produce threads using thread rolling processes rather than cutting methods. Thread rolling improves thread strength and durability by forming the thread shape through material displacement rather than removal.
Quality and Compliance
Maintaining quality standards is a key responsibility of all personnel. The CNC Machining and Manufacturing Technician must ensure that all manufacturing activities follow established quality procedures and production processes. Attention to detail, accuracy, and adherence to specifications are essential to maintain the company’s reputation for delivering high-performance components.
Key Skills and Attributes
Strong commitment to quality and accuracy
Effective communication with line leaders, managers, and colleagues
Strong problem-solving ability
Commitment to continuous improvement initiatives
Good housekeeping and workplace organisation
Awareness of health and safety practices to protect self and colleagues
