Cnc Machinist | Multi-Skilled Apprentice
Seaham, England, United Kingdom
Over the course of five years at The Fin Machine Company, I developed a broad range of skills in CNC machining and engineering. As a multi-skilled apprentice, I gained hands-on experience in manual machining (milling, turning, and surface grinding), worked in the design office using SolidWorks and AutoCAD, and specialized in CNC turning, EDM wire erosion, and CNC milling. By the end of my apprenticeship, I became proficient in both Fanuc and Heidenhain online programming.Upon completing my apprenticeship, I transitioned into a full-time CNC Machinist role, where I operated Bridgeport VMC 1000 and VMC 750 machines with Heidenhain controllers. I later expanded my expertise by working with HAAS 4th-axis milling machines using Fanuc controls. My responsibilities included programming, setting up, and operating machines to meet targets, while maintaining high-quality output. Additionally, I took on the responsibility of training apprentices on job setups and CNC programming.
