At EmployMe Solutions, we specialise in connecting great people with top New Zealand employers. Right now, a well-established engineering company is looking for a skilled CNC Machinist to join their modern, busy workshop in Gisborne.

What We're Looking For:
- 3+ years' CNC machining experience — mills, lathes, and all things precision
- Confident programming skills (bonus points for experience with multiple CNC systems)
- Strong blueprint reading and interpretation abilities
- Excellent attention to detail — your micrometer is basically your best mate
- Problem-solving skills — you know how to tweak a program or a setup to get the job done right
- Ability to work independently and manage your workload
- A positive attitude and team player spirit
- NZ Residency or valid NZ Work Visa - we will consider offshore migrants if you meet the requirements as the employer is an accredited employer
- Full NZ Driver’s Licence (preferred)
What You'll Be Doing:
- Operating CNC machines to produce high-quality, precision components
- Programming and editing CNC machinery to meet job specifications
- Reading and interpreting engineering drawings and schematics
- Setting up materials, tools, and machines for production runs
- Conducting quality checks using precision measuring tools
- Maintaining machines and keeping the workshop humming
- Ensuring health & safety procedures are always followed (because safety first, second, and third)
- Pitching in with the team to hit production targets
What's In It for You:
- Competitive pay based on your skills and experience
- Guaranteed 40 hours per week — stable, full-time role
- Subsidised health insurance + Kiwisaver
