Precision Machinist - Milling / Turning

Oakmount Control Systems Limited is a fast-moving, growing, engineering business based in the South West with offices in the vibrant City of Plymouth in Devon and the Historic Town of Yeovil in Somerset. Our talented team of Automation, Electrical and Mechanical Engineers work on many unique projects for blue chip international customers in a wide range of sectors including Food, Pharmaceutical, Aerospace, Automotive and General Manufacturing. We design and manufacture special purpose machinery and process control systems and we also work on many existing leading industrial brands.

We are looking for a Machinist to join our toolroom team to play a key role in the manufacture of precision parts for various projects within the company.

This role will suit an experienced Machinist who is able to work effectively on their own initiative to complete components/projects from start to finish. The successful candidate may come from a similar business, and we would welcome relocators.

Experience with either milling or turning is mandatory. Either will be considered although experience with both would be preferred.

Your responsibilities will include:

• The machining of components for machinery and automation projects.
• Programming, setting and the operating as required of CNC and manual mills and lathes.
• The ability to use XYZ Proto Trak and Siemens CNC controllers would be beneficial but training can be provided if needed.
• Producing high quality components to tight tolerances in a commercial timeframe.
• The ability to read and interpret engineering drawings.
• The ability to use a range of engineering metrology instruments ensuring quality standards and tolerances are self-approved.
• Working with minimal supervision.
• Experience of other machine shop processes like surface grinding would be beneficial to your role within the company but not essential.
• Assisting other departments in the design/modification of components for projects to meet customer demands, this may be sometimes a matter of urgency.
• Keeping the work area clean, safe and tidy and general self-maintenance procedures.
• Having the flexibility to work overtime if required by the business.

You will be:

• An experienced/time served turner/machinist
• Passionate and driven, with the desire to produce and deliver completed components and/or projects to a high standard.
• A team player with the ability to easily work with others and mentor more junior members of the team if asked of you.
• Wishing to work within an exciting growing business with international clients.

So, if you would like a position in a role with a significant amount of variety and autonomy, then please apply and tell us more about yourself.
