Brompton is looking for an experienced CNC programmer/setter/operator to join its prototyping department. The role requires someone with a hands-on approach, open to tackling various multi-skilled tasks, with problem-solving abilities, and willing to work within a team.

As this role is within the prototyping department, we often require our team to be open to learning new skills and have the enthusiasm to tackle new technologies.

• Operation of 3D printers.
• General housekeeping of machinery and workshop environment.
• Support the training of apprentices and trainees.
