This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced CNC Laser Setter / Operator to join a busy, growing sheet metal engineering business in Rugby.

The work is varied and includes defence related projects, vehicle related manufacturing, subcontract engineering, point of sale equipment, retail display units, and other bespoke work.

There is currently more work available than the team has hours in the day to complete, so they are looking for reliable people who can come in, settle in and add value long term.

The hours

• Monday to Thursday: 8:00am – 4:30pm | Friday: 8:00am – 3:30pm
• Contracted 39 hours per week paid
• 30 minute lunch break | Two 10 minute tea breaks

What you’ll be doing

• Setting and operating Amada CNC Laser machinery
• Working from engineering drawings
• Cutting and producing sheet metal components
• Checking dimensions, quality and finish
• Working across varied jobs and materials
• Making sure the correct programme, material and settings are being used
• Using measuring equipment correctly
• Working safely in a busy manufacturing environment
• Supporting the wider workshop where needed

What we need from you

• Experience setting and operating CNC Laser machinery
• Experience on Amada machinery would be a strong advantage
• Ability to read and understand engineering drawings
• Experience working within sheet metal manufacturing
• Able to measure, check and work accurately
• Reliable attendance and good timekeeping
• Able to work independently once shown the job
• Comfortable working in a busy, hands on workshop

Experience with laser punching, nesting or wider sheet metal processes would be useful, but it is not essential. The main things are proper CNC Laser experience, sheet metal knowledge, reliability and the right attitude.

The good bit

This is a proper sheet metal role with varied work, stable hours, an early finish on a Friday and the chance to join a long standing business.

You will be working across different jobs, drawings and materials, so it would suit someone who likes variety rather than standing on the same job every day until their brain turns into swarf.

The company values reliability, skill and attitude. They are not looking for someone who wants a quick short term stop gap. They want someone dependable who can become part of the team.
