CNC Operator

Trillium is seeking a Night Shift CNC Fabrication Operator in Freeport!

This Direct-Hire opportunity is seeking an experienced CNC Fabrication Operator with 3+ years running water jet cutting, press brake, and punch equipment. You will take precision metallic and non-metallic parts from raw stock to finished product: reading blueprints, nesting and cutting, bending and forming, inspecting, and finishing every part to customer requirements.

On night shift you will set up, program, and run all three machine types, backed by strong shop math, a feel for how materials behave, and a safety-first, quality-focused mindset. It is a great opportunity to grow your fabrication career on a four-day workweek.

Responsibilities: Plan each job from prints, specs, and sample parts: dimensions, tolerances, materials, run sequence, and setup, and confirm material type, thickness, size, and quantity before production starts. Pull up, enter, and edit CNC programs; build water jet programs and nesting layouts, load and secure material, and dial in pressure, abrasive flow, feed rate, pierce settings, standoff height, and cut quality. Set up and run press brakes, horizontal bending machines, turret punches, and inline punches, choosing punches and dies and setting controls, bend allowance included, for each material. Watch machines and output as parts run, catch malfunctions or out-of-tolerance conditions early, and adjust controls to hold spec. Check finished parts with calipers, micrometers, height gauges, tape measures, gauge blocks, gauge pins, and Virtek laser inspection. Deburr and finish parts with grinders, sanders, and hand tools; protect parts through handling; move stock by forklift or pallet jack; and maintain equipment, punches, and dies. Keep accurate production logs, keep your area clean and organized on 5S and lean principles, and work with leads, supervisors, and programmers to solve production problems and flag equipment issues fast.

Schedule is night shift, Sunday - Thursday, 9:00 PM - 7:00 AM, 4 Day, 10 Hour Shift Workweek. Pay rate is $24.50 - $29.50 per hour DOE.

- 3+ years of CNC fabrication experience on press brake, punch, and/or water jet equipment, with the ability to set up and run all three. Reads blueprints, sketches, and bills of material with confidence, including dimensions, tolerances, and finish requirements. Troubleshoots quality problems, spots a measurement drifting out of spec, and makes the fix. Skilled with tape measures, calipers, micrometers, and other measuring instruments; completes setups and runs within routed times. Solid material handling skills and safe operation of high-pressure and forming equipment; water jet controls, CAD/CAM, nesting software, or forklift experience is a plus. High school diploma or equivalent, a strong attendance record, and the ability to lift up to 50 lbs. frequently and be on your feet up to 10 hours a day.
