About the Role:

CNC Operations Manager - Milling & Turning

This is a high-impact leadership role responsible for operational execution, production performance, accountability, workflow management, and team leadership across CNC manufacturing operations.

We are looking for a proven manufacturing leader with experience overseeing CNC machining operations in a fast-paced production environment. The ideal candidate understands the demands of precision manufacturing, can lead through changing priorities, and has a track record of driving operational performance, accountability, and results.

This is not an entry-level leadership opportunity. We are seeking someone who has successfully operated at the operations management level and can immediately contribute to production execution, process improvement, and operational stability.

Responsibilities
  • Provide operational leadership across CNC milling and turning departments
  • Drive daily production execution to support quality, delivery, and efficiency goals
  • Manage workflow, staffing, machine utilization, and production priorities
  • Partner with supervisors, quality, planning, and leadership to resolve operational challenges
  • Maintain accountability across production teams and support a performance-driven culture
  • Monitor operational performance and identify opportunities for improvement
  • Support scheduling execution and proactively communicate production risks or delays
  • Lead continuous improvement efforts focused on efficiency, organization, and operational consistency
  • Maintain a safe, organized, and productive manufacturing environment
  • Support hiring, onboarding, and workforce development initiatives
Qualifications
  • Minimum 5 years of leadership experience within CNC machining operations
  • Strong background in CNC milling and turning manufacturing environments
  • Experience overseeing production operations, workflow coordination, and manufacturing execution
  • Proven ability to lead teams, manage priorities, and drive accountability
  • Strong understanding of machining processes, production flow, and operational challenges
  • Experience working in precision manufacturing environments
  • Strong communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills
  • Experience with ERP/manufacturing systems preferred
Preferred Experience
  • Aerospace, defense, or high-precision manufacturing experience
  • Experience improving operational performance and manufacturing efficiency
  • Familiarity with Lean Manufacturing or continuous improvement initiatives

Why Midwest Precision?

Midwest Precision is a growing precision machining company serving demanding industries including aerospace, defense, energy, and industrial manufacturing. We are focused on operational improvement, accountability, and building strong manufacturing leadership to support continued growth.

If you are an experienced CNC operations leader looking for an opportunity to make an impact within a growing manufacturing environment, we encourage you to apply.
