Graduate Machinist

Southwark, London (Global HQ) · Full-time, shift-based, up to £40,000 · On-site

Our Client is a software-first precision manufacturing company. We make the parts that aerospace, defence and energy companies cannot get made fast enough anywhere else. We run our own factories on our own operating system, MasonOS. Our mission is to forge industrial acceleration: rebuilding Western manufacturing capacity at the speed the moment demands.

This is a role for an engineering graduate who wants to make real parts on real machines, for the most interesting and important companies in the world. You will learn to machine to aerospace tolerances, then grow into CAM programming, customer-facing design for manufacture, or other leadership roles within the company.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Set,operateand prove out CNC milling and turning work on production jobs for live customer orders.
* Own the quality of what leaves your machine: inspection, first-article checks, and honest reporting of what went wrong.
* Work alongside our engineering and quality teams to improve fixturing, tooling and cycle times on the parts you run.
* Feed the shop floor reality back into MasonOS so the next person running the job has it easier than you did.
* Support launches of new sites across our global network. WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU

A degree in aerospace, mechanical, manufacturing ora relatedengineering discipline. We care that you understand engineering fundamentals.
* A genuine desire to get your hands on real manufacturing. This is a shop floor job. You will be on your feet, in a factory, making parts: and that has to be the thing you actually want. NICE TO HAVE

Hands-on CNC experience: university workshop, placement,apprenticeshipor your own machine.
* Exposure to CAM software (Fusion 360, Mastercam, NX, PowerMill or similar).
* Evidence you make things outside of work: Formula Student, motorsport, robotics, restoration, a lathe in the garage. We will ask what you have built.
* Experience in a fast-paced, high-accountability environment where the deadline was real. HOURS AND WORKING PATTERN

This role is shift-based and we need flexibility on working hours. Our machines run to customer demand, not to a fixed nine-to-five, and shift patterns will change as the site scales. If a rigid schedule is a hard requirement for you, this is not the right role.

WHERE THIS LEADS

This is the entry point to a range of different clear paths. Most graduate machinists progress into CAM programming, owning the toolpaths and process for increasingly complex parts. From there, some deploy into customers directly, sitting with their engineers to do design for manufacture, and changing what they think is possible to build.

You will be trusted with more, faster, than in almost any other graduate engineering role. We are one of the fastest growing manufacturing startups in the world, the only limit for your growth and progression is your ability and the effort you put in
