Junior CAM Programmer

Join Red Bull Powertrains, where we’re revolutionising power unit technology to drive the next era of Formula 1 success.

We’re looking for a skilled and motivated machinist who’s ready to take the next step into a Junior CAM Programmer role. This is a fantastic opportunity to move from hands-on machining into the digital side of manufacturing, developing long-term programming expertise in a high-performance environment.

You’ll receive structured training, mentoring, and support to develop the skills and understanding needed to provide CAM programming support for critical components—learning to program complex parts on a variety of multi-axis CNC machines using industry-leading software and equipment, all while meeting the highest quality standards and tight delivery deadlines. In return, we’re looking for someone with initiative, curiosity, and a continuous desire to learn in a fast-paced, high-performance environment.

Key Responsibilities:

• Support the CAM team by programming simpler components and repeat jobs using Siemens NX.
• Use Vericut simulation to check toolpaths and improve machining safety and efficiency.
• Apply your machining knowledge to suggest practical and effective programming strategies.
• Shadow experienced programmers to learn 3-axis, 5-axis, and mill-turn methods.
• Participate in prove-outs on the shop floor and support the transition from programming to production.
• Follow a clear personal development plan with targets to grow your programming capability.
• Predict cycle times and action CAM edit requests in a timely manner to support production deadlines.
• Maintain high standards for documentation, setup sheets, tool libraries, and revision control.
• Work closely with machinists, shift leads, engineers, and planners to ensure team success.
• Communicate clearly and proactively about production status and potential delays.
• Ensure Epicor systems are used correctly for work order tracking and job history.
• Uphold excellent standards of housekeeping, professionalism, and health & safety at all times.

Who You Are:

• Practical CNC machining experience (milling, turning, or both).
• Able to interpret complex engineering drawings and 3D models.
• Familiar with Fanuc and/or Heidenhain controls.
• Strong understanding of tooling, work holding, feeds/speeds, and machining best practices.
• A detail-oriented problem-solver with excellent communication skills.
• Exposure to CAM software (Siemens NX, Vericut or other platforms).
• Time-served/apprentice-trained background.

Behaviours We Value:

• Keen to Learn: You’re curious about programming and committed to self-development.
• Proactive: You ask questions, seek feedback, and take ownership of your progress.
• Team Player: You work well with machinists, programmers, and other departments.
• Reliable: You follow through on tasks and take pride in quality work.
• Calm Under Pressure: You maintain a solution-focused mindset during prove-outs and tight timelines.

At Red Bull Powertrains, we push the limits, fight for every victory, and get things done with relentless focus. Joining us means being part of a high-performance team that thrives on collaboration, trust, and ambition. We celebrate wins, learn from challenges, and take our work seriously—but not ourselves. Alongside a competitive salary, you’ll enjoy:

• Bonuses,
• Private healthcare,
• A pension scheme,
• On-site gym,
• Free daily food allowance
• And many more!

Most importantly, you’ll play a key role in powering championship-winning cars. If you're ready to be part of something extraordinary, apply now and help shape the future of F1.
