• Manufacture one-off and small-batch components, including tooling and repair parts.
• Measure and inspect completed work using appropriate metrology equipment.
• Work independently, maintain safe working practices and communicate technical issues clearly.

Essential experience

• Demonstrable hands-on ability on both manual milling machines and manual lathes.
• Practical CNC setup and operating experience. State your programming ability clearly in your application.
• Ability to read drawings, work to specified tolerances and inspect your own components.
• Sound knowledge of cutting tools, workholding, materials, speeds and feeds.
• Working English sufficient for safety, technical instructions and team communication.

Strong advantages

• Fanuc control and Cincinnati CNC experience, although equivalent-machine experience is acceptable.
• Toolroom, mouldmaking, precision maintenance or one-off component experience.
• CNC programming, CAD/CAM, grinding or EDM experience.

What TPS offers

• 40 paid hours per week.
• Earliest start by agreement, subject to notice and work permission; portal start date is indicative.
• Starting annual salary: €38,000.
• Mainly daytime, with occasional 16:00–00:00 evening work.
• TPS can arrange accommodation for as long as reasonably required. The employee pays the agreed rent and normal living costs; full terms are confirmed in writing before relocation.
• Direct employment with TPS — no recruitment agency and no candidate recruitment fee.
• Employment-permit support where the candidate and role are legally eligible. No permit outcome can be guaranteed.
