EDM Operator

Job Description

Who are we?

McBraida is a leading and innovative manufacturing company specialising in precision components for the aerospace industry. We take pride in our strong focus on innovation, efficiency, and customer satisfaction. We’re pioneers in aerospace engineering. Across our two facilities we have a total of 70 CNC machines. The majority of these are milling and turning centres, but we also have excellent grinding and EDM (electrical dis-charge machining) capabilities to manufacture the more difficult and intricate features. We produce components for the leading manufacturers in the civil, commercial military and marine industries.

Due to continued commercial success, we have an exciting opportunity, for a hardworking individual, to join our EDM team as an EDM Operator. The department operates a non-traditional form of precision machining that uses thermal energy instead of mechanical force to remove material from a workpiece, we turn to EDM when machining processes such as CNC Milling and CNC Turning cannot produce the desired cut. By joining McBraida you will become a part of a team, where authenticity is celebrated. Immerse yourself in, and contribute to, a culture that embraces innovation, prioritises your development, offers a constant learning platform, and opens doors to a vast array of opportunities for career advancement.

• Using and maintaining top of the range measuring equipment.
• Effectively work within a team environment, communicating with fellow team members and members of other production teams.
• Working in line with internal processes.
• Reading and interpreting technical drawings.
• This list highlights key aspects of the role but is not exhaustive. You will need to be prepared to undertake other reasonable duties as and when required.

If you have experience in inspection within aircraft, manufacturing and/or multiple complex components we would be especially excited to hear from you.

Personal Attributes

We’re looking for the following things for our new team member:

• You must have an understanding of basic measuring equipment and processes.
• Extremely strong attention to detail.
• Able to build and maintain effective working relationships with a variety of colleagues. Show a ‘can-do’ attitude.
• Show the ability and willingness to share knowledge.
• Keen to learn new skills and happy to share your own.

• Career development
