Build Something That Matters—Every Day

At The Gund Company, our CNC Operators don’t just run machines—they’re skilled makers who bring complex, custom-engineered parts to life. If you take pride in precision, enjoy hands-on work, and want to be part of a team that values craftsmanship, accountability, and continuous improvement—this is where you belong.

 
Why This Role Stands Out

• You’ll work on custom parts—not repetitive, assembly-line production
• You’ll operate multiple CNC machines and expand your skillset
• You’ll be part of a team-first culture where knowledge is shared and growth is supported
• Your work directly impacts the quality and performance of our products

What You’ll Do

• Set up and operate CNC machines (lathes, mills, and machining centers)
• Load materials, secure parts, and execute work orders based on specifications and blueprints
• Ensure parts meet quality standards through inspection and measurement
• Complete work order documentation accurately
• Perform routine machine maintenance and maintain a clean, organized workspace
• Collaborate with team members and assist with training others
• Follow all safety and quality standards while actively contributing ideas for improvement

What You Bring

• Ability to read blueprints and follow written instructions
• Experience operating CNC equipment or similar machining tools
• Strong attention to detail with a focus on quality and accuracy
• Basic to intermediate math skills and problem-solving ability
• Experience using measurement tools (calipers, gauges, etc.)
• Ability to work independently and manage priorities
• Willingness to work overtime as needed to support production

Preferred Experience

• Prior manufacturing or machining experience
• Vocational or technical training in machining or fabrication
• 5 Axis machine set-up and operation with Haas, Doosan.

What It’s Like to Work Here

At The Gund Company, we take pride in how we work just as much as what we build:

• Hands-on, collaborative environment where teammates support each other
• Culture of accountability and craftsmanship —we care about doing things the right way
• Leaders who invest in training and skill development
• Opportunities to grow into higher-level machining roles

Benefits That Support You

• Paid Time Off (PTO) and paid holidays
• Medical, Dental, Vision, Life, and Disability coverage
• 401(k) with company match

Take Pride in What You Build
