Precision CNC and Toolroom Machining Specialist

Job Description

Job Description

Shape metal. Shape performance.

Step into a shop where your craft drives reliability and accuracy for industry-leading equipment. From first part to final inspection, your judgment and hands-on skill set the standard.

A day in the life

You arrive, review the traveler and drawings (metric and inch), and map out your setups. You select tools, dial in offsets on a CNC mill or lathe, and, when the part demands it, head to the manual mill or engine lathe for the perfect touch. You build a creative fixture for a tricky geometry, chase tenths, and verify every critical feature with micrometers, indicators, bore gages, and an optical comparator. Quality, safety, and productivity stay front and center—until the last chip falls.
