We are looking for an experienced 5-Axis CNC Machinist to join our client’s workshop team responsible for the machining, repair and refurbishment of components for offshore equipment.
The position is based at the maintenance centre at the Black Sea, Türkiye, supporting the repair, refurbishment and manufacturing of components for offshore drilling operations. The
workshop handles large and technically demanding components where precision, reliability, traceability and schedule adherence are critical.
The successful candidate will be responsible for the complete machining process, from job preparation and machine setup through machining, dimensional inspection and final completion of the component.
• Operate and set up Mazak VTC 800/30 SR 5-axis CNC machining centre.
• Perform complex machining operations on large and heavy components for offshore equipment.
• Read and interpret technical drawings, machining drawings and dimensional requirements.
• Prepare machine setups, workholding and tooling according to the machining requirements.
• Select appropriate cutting tools, cutting parameters and machining strategies.
• Set and adjust tool offsets, work coordinates and machine parameters.
• Execute existing CNC programs and make necessary program/offset adjustments at the machine.
• Where required, support CNC programming and optimization of machining sequences.
• Perform in-process dimensional inspection using precision measuring equipment.
• Identify machining issues and troubleshoot problems related to tooling, setup, vibration, tolerances and surface finish.
• Ensure components are machined in accordance with approved drawings, specifications and quality requirements.
• Maintain accurate records of machining activities and inspection results.
• Work closely with Project Engineers, Workshop Supervisors, Planning and Quality Control to ensure jobs are completed safely and within the required schedule.
• Maintain a high standard of housekeeping and machine/tool condition.
• Minimum 5 years of relevant CNC machining experience.
• Strong experience with 5-axis CNC machining.
• Previous experience with Mazak CNC machines is highly desirable.
• Experience with Mazatrol / Mazak CNC controls.
• Strong ability to independently set up and operate CNC machines.
• Ability to work with large, complex and high-value components.
• Good understanding of machining processes, tooling and cutting parameters.
• Ability to read and understand technical drawings, GD&T and machining tolerances.
• Experience with precision measurement and inspection equipment.
• Ability to troubleshoot machining and tooling problems independently.
• Experience in oil & gas, offshore, drilling or heavy engineering is highly desirable.
• Experience machining BOP components, wellhead equipment, drilling equipment, large shafts, housings and structural/mechanical components.
• Experience with difficult-to-machine materials such as alloy steels, stainless steels and other high-strength materials.
• CNC programming experience using CAM software is an advantage.
• Experience working to API, ASME, ISO or similar oil & gas standards is an advantage.
• Good communication and teamwork skills.
• Ability to work independently and take ownership of assigned jobs.
The ideal candidate should be a fully competent CNC machinist capable of independently taking a component from drawing → setup → tooling → machining → measurement → final dimensional verification, with minimal supervision.
