About the Role

Cubed Talent is proud to be partnering exclusively with a growing precision engineering business in Guiseley to recruit an experienced CNC Turner. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a tight-knit, skilled team where your expertise will be truly valued and where there is real scope for growth as the business expands.

You will work within a small turning department, jointly responsible for five CNC lathes, taking each job from initial programming right through to final inspection. The role demands a high degree of skill and ownership, this isn't a button-pushing role. You'll be expected to programme, set and run your own work, produce quality components and take pride in what you make.
 

About the Company

Our client is a well-equipped precision engineering company, operating with a small but highly skilled team, they run an impressive array of plant including eight Haas Milling Machines, three Doosan CNC Lathes, a Haas ST-20Y mill turn lathe - with a further Doosan 2600M being added in May 2026.

The business has recently expanded into the automation sector, bringing new and exciting work through the door. With hands-on leadership from the Managing Director and a clear plan to grow both headcount and machine capacity over the coming years, this is a business with real ambition - and they want people who share it.


The Role

You'll be responsible for the full turning process from start to finish, including:

  • Programming CNC lathes using Alphacam CAM software
  • Setting and operating Doosan and Haas lathes
  • Machining a variety of materials including aluminium, stainless steel, specialised steels and brass
  • Handling batch sizes ranging from one-off prototypes to production runs of up to 400 parts
  • De-burring, quality checking and final inspection of finished components
  • Working both independently and collaboratively within the turning team


What We're Looking For

The ideal candidate will bring:

  • Strong, proven experience programming, setting and operating CNC lathes - Doosan and Haas specifically
  • Proficiency in Alphacam
  • Experience machining a range of metals to tight tolerances
  • The ability to manage the full manufacturing process autonomously
  • Experience on mill turn lathes would be a distinct advantage
  • A reliable, quality-focused approach and the ability to work well in a small team
     

What's on Offer

  • Starting salary of £37,500 PA  negotiable depending on experience
  • 28 days holiday including Bank Holidays
  • Discretionary additional two weeks paid leave over Christmas depending on business requirements
  • Day shift only with early Friday finish - 07:30 - 16:00 Mon to Thursday, 07:30 to 13:30 Friday
  • A stable, skilled working environment with genuine long-term prospects
  • Opportunity to grow with a business that is actively expanding its capabilities
