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.
You'll work closely with the Machine Shop Manager and senior programmers, taking ownership of day-to-day performance across early/late shifts while helping to develop apprentices and trainees.
Why join us?
You'll be joining a business in growth mode, with real scope to shape standards, bring work back in-house, and progress your leadership career. Training and development are actively supported-especially for those stepping up into supervision.
Key responsibilities
Lead the CNC milling section day-to-day, ensuring production hours, output and priorities are achieved
Build working knowledge across all CNC section machines, setups, materials and best practice for runners/repeaters
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
