SEEK Careers/Staffing

CNC Machinist | Set-Up & Programming

Milwaukee, WI

Pay: $23 to $28 per hour, depending on experience

Schedule: Full-time | 1st shift

If you're a CNC machinist who enjoys setting up machines, dialing in parts, and working in a clean, well-run shop, this is a solid opportunity. You'll work with modern CNC equipment, have consistent first-shift hours, and be trusted with hands-on machining work rather than just pushing buttons.

What you'll be doing
  • Set up and operate CNC lathes and milling machines
  • Perform milling, turning, and machining operations to print
  • Make offsets, tool changes, and minor program edits as needed
  • Read and interpret blueprints, technical drawings, and work instructions
  • Inspect finished parts using standard measuring tools to ensure quality
  • Troubleshoot machining or setup issues to keep production running smoothly
  • Maintain a clean, organized, and safety-focused work area
  • Communicate with leads and supervisors on production or quality concerns
What we're looking for

Required:
  • Hands-on experience with CNC lathes and/or mills
  • Comfortable with machine setup and part changeovers
  • Ability to read blueprints and understand machining tolerances
  • Strong attention to detail and quality
  • Mechanical aptitude and problem-solving skills
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team
Preferred but not required:
  • Programming experience or the ability to make minor program edits
  • Experience with both small and large CNC equipment
  • High school diploma or equivalent
What you get
  • $23 to $28 per hour based on experience
  • Stable, full-time first shift
  • Opportunity to work with advanced CNC machinery
  • Supportive shop environment with long-term growth potential

Apply today if you're looking for a CNC role where your skills are valued and your workday is consistent.
