Metal Machining Setter and Setter Operator

View this career for different education levels:

Imagine you are building something amazing out of metal, like parts for a car, an aeroplane, or even a washing machine. A Metal Machining Setter and Setter Operator is like a very clever builder who uses big, special machines to cut and shape metal perfectly. They are the ones who make sure the machines are set up just right, like tuning a guitar before playing a song. They tell the machine what to do so it can create exactly the right shape and size from a big piece of metal. They might use different tools to measure things very carefully and make sure everything is perfect. This job involves a lot of concentration and problem-solving. You need to understand how the machines work and what different metals do when you cut them. Sometimes, you might even have to fix a machine if it goes wrong. It's a job where you get to make real things that are used all around us every day. You could be working in a big factory making thousands of parts or in a smaller workshop making special, one-off items. It's a very hands-on role where you use both your brain and your practical skills.
