A Day in the Life — Three Paths to Make an Impact CNC Machinist

As afternoon turns to evening, you’re setting up a CNC mill for a stainless-steel job. You review the blueprint, load tools, adjust offsets, and verify dimensions. The Fanuc control responds as you dial in the cut, ensuring tight tolerances and a smooth finish before handing off to inspection.

  • Shift: 2nd (3:00 PM – 11:30 PM)
  • Pay: $28.00 – $32.00/hr
  • Core work: Set up and operate CNC milling equipment
  • Materials: Stainless steel
  • Skills: Blueprint reading, tooling adjustments, Fanuc controls
CNC Programmer

Your morning begins by translating complex part prints into efficient toolpaths. You optimize feeds and speeds, refine strategies, and support the floor as jobs move from CAM to the mill. You partner with machinists to improve cycle times and part quality.

  • Shift: 1st (7:00 AM – 3:30 PM)
  • Pay: $35.00 – $40.00/hr
  • Core work: Create and optimize CNC milling programs
  • Software: FeatureCAM, Mastercam, Creo, or comparable CAM
  • Focus: Support machining operations and drive process improvements
Controls Engineer

You collaborate with engineering and production to design, troubleshoot, and enhance automation and control systems that power custom packaging lines. Your solutions improve reliability, throughput, and operator experience.

  • Shift: 1st
  • Compensation: $90,000 – $110,000
  • Core work: Design and support automation and control systems
  • Impact: Troubleshoot issues and implement manufacturing improvements
  • Collaboration: Partner closely with engineering and production teams
Why You’ll Want This Job
  • Stable, established manufacturer
  • Modern manufacturing facility
  • Advanced machining and automation environment
  • Competitive compensation
  • Long-term career growth opportunities
