A fast-growing precision engineering business is looking for a hands-on CNC Milling Section Supervisor to lead a busy machining cell. This is a practical, shop-floor leadership role-ideal for an experienced CNC Miller/Setter/Operator who enjoys supporting others, driving output, and still getting on the machines when needed.

- Support machining on HAAS mills and other equipment (prove-outs, running parts, troubleshooting and process improvement)
- Coach, train and upskill setters/operators; deliver in-house training on setting and machining
- Develop apprentices/trainees: identify training needs, build plans/schedules and mentor best practice
- Coordinate staffing, holiday planning and shift coverage to maintain output (including covering holidays/sickness when required)
- Work with programmers/CNC leadership to identify subcontract parts that can be brought back in-house and highlight future machine needs
- Support quality/inspection improvements and maintain setup sheets, tooling lists and supporting documentation
Skills & experience
