Job Description

A day in the life

It’s the weekend, and you’re the craftsperson others rely on. You arrive, review the production plan, pull up the prints, and load the right tools and workholding. Your first setup goes smoothly—G-code is verified, offsets are dialed in, and the first article checks out within tolerance. Throughout the shift, you keep multiple CNC mills and lathes humming, inspecting parts against specs, logging results, and keeping a clean, safe cell. When a machine throws a curveball, you troubleshoot calmly, adjust, and get back to producing high-quality components.

What you’ll handle

• Set up and operate CNC milling and turning equipment to meet print and CAD model requirements.
• Interpret blueprints, technical drawings, and models to plan efficient machining strategies.
• Validate quality with precise measurements and in-process inspections to required tolerances.
• Maintain, diagnose, and resolve machine issues to sustain optimal run time.
• Document setups, production runs, and quality results with accurate records.
• Uphold safety procedures and a well-organized, 5S-oriented workspace.

What you bring

• High school diploma or equivalent; machining trade schooling or certifications preferred.
• At least 5 years of hands-on CNC machining experience across mills and lathes.
• Solid grasp of CNC programming concepts and G-code.
• Strong blueprint literacy and use of precision gauges and measuring tools.
• Sharp problem-solving skills, exceptional attention to detail, and team-first communication.
