• Fantastic company pension scheme
• Healthcare plan
• Early Friday finish for improved work–life balance
• Opportunity to work on aerospace-grade precision components
• Clean, modern working environment
• Long-term role with development opportunities

Toolroom Engineer Duties

• Carry out manual machining, including milling, turning, drilling and fitting
• Perform deburring, bench work and component finishing/broaching
• Produce precision components to tight tolerances and engineering drawings
• Edit programmes at the machine (no offline programming required)
• Carry out self-inspection using micrometres, verniers, gauges, etc.
• Support apprentices and trainees where required
• Conduct basic machine and tool maintenance

Toolroom Engineer Profile
