Role SnapshotLocation: Riverside, MOEmployment: Full-TimeShifts: Day 6:00a–4:30p (Mon–Fri) and Night 4:00p–2:30a (Sun–Thu)Compensation: $25.00–$35.00 per hour, commensurate with experienceA Day in the LifeYou clock in to a true heavy-manufacturing floor—overhead cranes moving massive workpieces, the hum of horizontal mills, and a new job traveler ready for you. You’ll stage and secure large components using 3-point methods, hold parts in a relaxed state to preserve geometry, and bring up programs on Fanuc controls (from 18M to 30iB) to verify, edit, and optimize. With blueprints at your side and micrometers in hand, you’ll measure, adjust, and machine precise features that will serve demanding industrial applications. It’s not fixture swapping—it’s authentic heavy machining from setup through first-article verification.What You’ll HandleOperate large CNC horizontal mills and complementary equipmentSet up oversized/heavy parts per detailed work instructionsExecute accurate 3-point setups; secure parts in a relaxed, strain-free conditionRead engineering drawings and machining specifications with precisionLoad, prove out, and edit CNC programs (Fanuc 18M through 30iB)Tune processes and setups to improve cycle time and qualityInspect features using ID/OD micrometers, calipers, and other precision toolsConfirm all critical dimensions and tolerances before releaseAdhere to safety procedures and follow standardized work instructionsKeep your area organized, safe, and audit-readyWork independently while meeting productivity, quality, and safety targetsWhat You’ll BringHands-on experience with large horizontal CNC millsProven skill setting up large workpiecesBackground with 3-point setups and relaxed-state part holdingComfort with Fanuc controls, including 18M and 30iBFluency in blueprint reading and GD&T interpretationProficiency with ID/OD micrometers, calipers, and related gagingSolid understanding of CNC machining and setup fundamentalsTroubleshooting mindset for both machining and setup issuesAbility to work with minimal supervision and high attention to detailTools & TechnologiesCNC Mill (3–4 axis VMC)CNC Mill (5+ axis VMC)Work EnvironmentHeavy manufacturing, shop-floor setting with large machinery, cutting tools, and industrial equipment.
