CNC Machinist

A bit about us:

We are a leading manufacturer of anodized aluminum packaging for the cosmetics, spirits, and pharmaceutical markets, with over 60 years of anodizing expertise. Our Naugatuck, CT tool room makes the specialized tooling that keeps our eyelet machines running. We are a stable, established company with multiple plants, and the work here is skilled and hands-on.

Why join us?

Direct hire opportunity with an established manufacturer
Competitive pay of $30 - $40 per hour based on experience

Not a high-volume production shop: varied, small-quantity tooling work with no repetitive part runs
Room to grow from lathe work into a versatile lathe and mill role
Hands-on training on our Okuma equipment

Job Details

We are looking for a CNC Machinist to join our tool room on first shift. You will start on our two-axis and three-axis Okuma lathes and, once you are proficient, move into a more versatile role alternating between CNC milling and lathe work based on departmental priorities.

Set up and operate two-axis and three-axis Okuma CNC lathes
Transition into CNC milling and lathe operations as workload demands
Perform frequent machine setups and changeovers throughout the day
Program and edit CNC programs for small-quantity, custom tooling
Machine specialized tooling for our eyelet machines, often in runs of just a handful of parts
Read and interpret blueprints and technical drawings
Inspect finished parts using precision measuring tools to meet specifications
Work with the tool room team to prioritize jobs and keep deadlines on track

Qualifications

Experience operating both CNC lathes and CNC mills
Strong setup and changeover skills
CNC programming experience (Okuma experience is a plus)
Ability to read blueprints and use precision measuring tools
Comfortable with small-batch, job-shop style work
