Title: CNC Machinist Location: Hamburg Type: Permanent Salary: €65,000 - €85,000 DOE Set and operate advanced CNC machinery to produce high-precision components for regulated, high-spec industries. This role covers the full machining lifecycle, from CAM programming and initial prove-out through to optimisation and repeat production. You will play a key role in driving efficiency, consistency and performance across a modern manufacturing environment. This is a hands-on position suited a CNC Machinist who values precision, ownership and continuous improvement. The CNC Machinist will be responsible for * Set up, prove-out and run components to stringent engineering and quality standards * Improve cycle times and maximise machine utilisation * Design and refine fixturing and workholding solutions * Select appropriate tooling and machining parameters for a range of advanced materials * Ensure high-quality output with a focus on right-first-time manufacturing * Support new product introduction from drawing through to production * Collaborate with engineering and digital teams to improve data capture, scheduling and automation * Contribute to standardising programming approaches across multiple sites The CNC Machinist will require * Strong experience in CAM programming (e.g. Fusion, Hypermill, Mastercam or similar) * Demonstrated ability to achieve tight tolerances in precision manufacturing environments * Experience setting and operating advanced CNC machinery * Solid understanding of feeds, speeds, tooling strategies and workholding principles * Ability to interpret complex engineering drawings and GD&T * Experience within high-spec or regulated industries is advantageous * Comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-ownership environment It is desirable for the CNC Machinist to have * Experience with simultaneous 5-axis machining * Familiarity with probing, automation or pallet systems * Understanding of recognised quality standards (e.g. AS9100, ISO9001) * Interest in advanced manufacturing, automation or data-led production Benefits for the CNC Machinist * Opportunity to work on complex, high-value engineering components * Exposure to advanced manufacturing technologies and automation * Equity or long-term incentive opportunities (where applicable) * Ability to influence manufacturing and programming standards * Collaborative, performance-driven environment focused on continuous improvement
