- Proven CNC setting and operating experience.
- Experience setting 3, 4 or 5-axis CNC machinery.
- Experience with CNC milling or mill-turn machinery.
- Ability to manage frequent machine set-ups and varied components.
- Ability to read engineering drawings and work to tight tolerances.
- Confident using micrometres, verniers and other inspection equipment.
- Aerospace or equivalent precision manufacturing experience.
- Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work independently.
Relocating to the Isle of Man
The Isle of Man offers coastal scenery, countryside, motorsport and outdoor activities, alongside a different pace of life.
