We believe that our strength is not just in our steel but the diversity of our workforce. Our people make the difference.

At Tata Steel, we know our strength is not just in our products, but in our people. We’re proud of the team that keeps our operations running smoothly – and now we’re looking for a skilled Machinist to join them.

This is a great opportunity to join our Engineering Shop at the Corby site, where we’ve already invested over £500,000 in new machinery – and with plans to invest £1 million more over the next two years, there’s never been a better time to get involved.

What you will do:

As a Machinist, you’ll play a key role in producing and repairing one-off and small-batch components that are essential to our manufacturing operations. Working from engineering drawings and specifications, you’ll machine parts to tight tolerances using lathes, milling machines, and other workshop tools.

You’ll be based in a supportive and safety-conscious team, working 8-hour shifts Monday to Friday. The role follows a weekly rotating pattern covering days, backs, and nights. You’ll also be part of the journey as the Engineering Shop relocates to a brand-new workshop on site, with further upgrades on the horizon. It’s a brilliant chance to work with modern equipment and play a part in shaping a first-class facility.

What you will need:

To succeed in this role, you’ll need a combination of technical skill, attention to detail, and a strong commitment to working safely. We’re looking for someone with:

  • A time-served apprenticeship or proven competence through experience
  • An NVQ Level 3, City & Guilds qualification, or equivalent
  • Experience operating manual lathes, milling machines, and general workshop tools
  • A good understanding of safe systems of work

It would also be an advantage if you have:

  • A valid UK driving licence
  • Experience with CNC machines

We will consider candidates with limited experience, provided they show the potential and willingness to develop. In these cases, an extended probation period may apply to allow time to build up the required skills.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
