CNC Operator

BUILDER WANTED. CNC Operator

Not just a CNC Operator. A Builder.

You turn precise measurements and detailed designs into woodwork people see and use every day. From setting up CNC equipment to inspecting finished pieces, you know that craftsmanship depends on accuracy, care, and attention to every cut. You take pride in keeping machines running well and producing work that meets the highest standards.

At Stanton Millworks, we're looking for a CNC Operator who brings woodworking know-how, technical skill, and a commitment to quality to every project.

A Legacy of Building Careers

Stanton Millworks is a premier cabinetmaking and architectural woodworking shop in the Tri-state area, with more than 80 years of growth built on repeat and referral business. We believe great work starts with people who share a commitment to craftsmanship, teamwork, and strong relationships.

We know our team members have families, interests, and lives beyond work. That's why we value working hard and working smart, celebrating shared successes, and making a positive impact on our clients and community. Our full-time positions offer generous PTO, excellent salaries, and a collaborative environment where your voice matters.

What You'll Build

• Operate woodworking CNC machinery to produce parts that meet project specifications and quality standards.
• Operate edgebander and wood dowel machines.
• Load and secure materials, adjust machine settings, and select and install the proper tools, bits, and cutters for each job.
• Read and interpret blueprints and design drawings to understand project requirements.
• Monitor operations, take measurements, detect malfunctions, edit programs, and sharpen or replace worn tools to maintain specifications.
• Set machining controls for speed, feed, coolant flow, and depth and angle of cut.
• Follow quality assurance procedures and inspect work for accuracy.
• Perform routine cleaning and lubrication, troubleshoot CNC equipment, and make minor repairs to minimize downtime.
• Maintain detailed records of materials, machine settings, operations, and finished product dimensions.
• Collaborate with designers, engineers, and other team members to improve manufacturability.
• Help manage inventory of materials, tools, and equipment used in CNC operations.
• Keep the work area clean, organized, and safe.

What You Bring

• High school diploma or GED.
• At least 3 years of CNC experience.
• OSHA 10 Certification preferred.
• Cabinetmaking experience is a plus.

The Bottom Line

We're looking for someone who sees more than machine settings and production runs. You understand that every accurate cut, properly maintained tool, and carefully finished part contributes to the quality Stanton Millworks is known for.

We're not looking for someone to simply operate a machine. We're looking for someone who takes ownership, solves problems, supports the team, and builds craftsmanship into every piece. If that sounds like you, let's build something great together.
