Job description

As a CNC Machinist/Programmer at NTS Drachten, you are at the heart of our production process.

  • Programming of complex products in CAM software, preferably TopSolid.;
  • Monitoring the quality of your own work in accordance with the strict tolerances required by our high-tech customers.;
  • Preparing setups and checking/confirming tools, products, and materials by reading and applying technical drawings and work instructions;
  • Manufacturing unique, ultra-precise products with micron accuracy, mostly in single pieces and sometimes small series.

Job requirements

We are looking for a skilled CNC Machinist / Programmer with a proactive attitude and the following background:

  • A completed technical education at MBO level 3 or 4, preferably in the direction of Machining or Mechanical Engineering;
  • Demonstrable experience in the independent operation and/or programming of CNC machines.;
  • Experience with CAD/CAM systems, preferably TopSolid;
  • Good command of the Dutch language, both spoken and written, considering the work instructions, drawings, and communication on the work floor;
  • Willingness to work two shifts (17,19% allowance) (6:00 AM to 2:30 PM and 2:15 PM to 11:00 PM, Mon–Fri).

Your terms of employment

At NTS, we combine our passion for technology with innovative solutions for complex challenges.
You will be given the freedom and trust to fully utilize and develop your talents in a dynamic and energetic environment. We invest in both technology and in you as a future colleague!


With this challenge, we offer the following employment conditions:

  • Salary of €3,100.00 to €4,200.00 gross per month, depending on experience and qualifications;
  • Over 40 days off: 27 vacation days and 13 RVD days with a full-time employment contract;
  • Personal development and growth opportunities, for example through training and education;
  • Annual discretionary budget of €150 gross, which can be used for vitality, the bicycle plan, or the gym via the Alleo app, among other things.;
  • Travel expenses reimbursement of €0.21 per kilometer (from 10 km and max. 50 km one-way) or full reimbursement of public transport costs;
  • Excellent pension scheme via PME;
