Job Description

Job Description

Lead CNC Mill‑Turn Setup Machinist

Location: Blaine, MN | Industry: Precision Manufacturing

Step into a modern, high-end machining environment where your senior-level expertise sets the pace for the day. From your first 5:00 AM setup to final in-process checks before 3:00 PM, you’ll take ownership of complex parts, tight tolerances, and multi-axis work that keeps production running smoothly.

What your day looks like
  • Set up and run advanced CNC milling and turning centers to produce high-precision components.
  • Leverage Mill-Turn capabilities, live tooling, or 5-axis machining to tackle complex geometries (highly preferred).
  • Read and interpret blueprints and technical drawings to plan each job effectively.
  • Dial in tooling, apply offsets, and make setup adjustments to achieve exacting specs.
  • Own quality at the machine: inspect work, troubleshoot, and optimize processes.
  • Best fit for experienced Level 3–4 CNC Machinists who work independently.
Compensation & schedule
  • $28.00–$40.00/hr depending on experience.
  • 1st Shift: 5:00 AM–3:00 PM (consistent schedule).
  • Excellent benefits package and strong long-term career growth.
Why this environment
  • Newer, high-end precision machining facility with advanced CNC technology.
  • Challenging, high-precision work that rewards craftsmanship and initiative.
What you bring
  • Senior-level CNC machining experience in milling and/or turning.
  • Mill-Turn with live tooling or 5-axis background preferred.
  • Ability to set up, troubleshoot, and run CNC machines independently.
  • Fluent blueprint reading and precision measurement skills.
Tools & platforms

You should be proficient in:

  • CNC Tooling

Machines & technologies you'll use:

  • CNC Mill (5+ axis VMC)
  • CNC Lathe (5+ axis)
