Job Description:

Manual Turner

A well-established hydraulic engineering company based in Dewsbury is looking to recruit a skilled Manual Turner to join its modern and well-equipped machine shop.

With over 35 years of experience in the fluid power industry, the company specialises in the design, manufacture, supply and repair of high-quality hydraulic equipment including cylinders, pumps, motors, valves and power packs. The business focuses on specialist, high-end bespoke work and low-volume production, offering an interesting and varied workload rather than repetitive mass production.

The Role

Working within a large in-house engineering and hydraulics workshop, you will be responsible for producing precision-machined components, mainly one-off and small batch parts (1-10 pieces) used in hydraulic cylinders and associated equipment.

This role would suit someone who enjoys precision work, problem-solving and variety, as much of the work is bespoke and requires a high level of skill and attention to detail.

Key Responsibilities

* Operating manual lathes to produce precision components

* Producing one-off and small batch components

* Working from engineering drawings and samples

* Carrying out screw cutting and general turning operations

* Managing your own workload and working to production schedules

* Maintaining high quality and accuracy standards

What We're Looking For

* Previous experience as a Manual Turner / Manual Machinist

* Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings

* Experience producing bespoke or low-volume components

* Ideally some experience with NC lathe work

* A proactive and self-motivated approach to work

What's On Offer

* Competitive salary (depending on experience)

* Overtime opportunities available

* Modern, well-equipped machine shop

* Supportive engineering team environment

* Varied and interesting work on specialist hydraulic equipment

* Long-term stability with an established engineering business

* Part-time hours may be considered for the right candidate

If you are an experienced Manual Turner looking to work on high-quality bespoke engineering projects within a well-established and respected company, we would love to hear from you
