CNC Setup & Changeover Machinist (Precision Production)

Thomas Employment

Job Description

Job Description

A day in the life

Morning starts on the shop floor in Willoughby, OH, reviewing the day’s production plan. You’ll pull the next job, load programs, and complete a meticulous setup to hit tolerance on the first piece. Through the day, you’ll switch between CNC setups and short manual machining tasks to keep runs on track. When a machine drifts, you’ll make offsets and fine-tune tooling. If a hiccup appears, you troubleshoot calmly, keep safety first, and get production back to peak efficiency.

What you’ll do
  • Own CNC machine setups and changeovers for varied production runs.
  • Dial-in setups for accuracy, performance, and repeatability.
  • Apply manual machining techniques to support and complement CNC work.
  • Monitor operations, adjust tooling/offsets, and verify parts meet spec.
  • Perform routine maintenance and basic troubleshooting on CNC equipment.
  • Partner with teammates to refine processes and elevate throughput.
  • Champion safety protocols and keep a clean, organized workstation.
What you bring
  • Hands-on experience setting up and changing over CNC machines.
  • Solid manual machining ability and comfort with common shop tools.
  • Fluency reading blueprints and technical drawings.
  • Sharp attention to detail and a quality-first mindset.
  • Resourceful problem solver who can work independently.
  • Clear communicator and reliable team player.
  • High school diploma or equivalent; machining certification a plus.
Core proficiencies
  • CNC setup and changeover for production.
  • Efficient, accurate machine setups for repeatable runs.
  • Manual machining skills to support CNC operations.

Location: On-site in Willoughby, OH.
