Multi-Axis CNC Setup Machinist and Programmer

Preferred Utilities

Job Description

Job Description

Build excellence—one setup, one part, one standard at a time

Our team is united by a simple mission: make parts that meet spec the first time, every time, while keeping people and equipment safe. If you thrive on precision and teamwork, this is where you can make an impact.

How you'll contribute

From first-piece to final inspection, you’ll drive quality and continuity across CNC mills and lathes:

  • Own the setup, troubleshooting, and operation of CNC Milling and Turning Machines to achieve consistent, high-quality output.
  • Confirm conformance using bench gauging and appropriate inspection techniques before releasing parts.
  • Apply Standard Work rigorously—setup/operation, process verification, inspection, documentation, and material handling.
  • Perform light preventative maintenance to sustain machine performance and minimize downtime.
  • Escalate any safety violations, equipment misusage, or improperly performed work to your supervisor and provide input that may support corrective actions, including discipline.
Safety, teamwork, and housekeeping
  • Participate fully in safety programs, including hazardous material handling and disposal, per regulations and company procedures.
  • Use PPE—such as safety shoes, eyewear, gloves, masks, shields, and coats—if needed.
  • Keep a clean, compliant work environment and follow all company and safety rules and regulations.
  • Collaborate as a dependable team player and foster positive relationships with peers.
Quality and continuity
  • Complete testing and adjustment of parts, as needed, to meet final requirements.
  • Identify and replace parts, as necessary, to maintain process capability and throughput.
  • Support other tasks as required to meet production commitments.
Equipment & software
  • CNC Mill (3–4 axis VMC) (Haas, Okuma)
  • CAM Software
  • CNC Mill (5+ axis VMC)
