Job Description

Senior Precision Machinist (CNC Mills/Lathes & Toolroom) A Day in the Shop

Your shift begins at a tidy setup station. You review advanced blueprints, note critical GD&T callouts, verify tooling offsets, and prep a horizontal mill for the first run. You load and run a CNC program, watch the first-off part closely, and make smart adjustments to hold tolerance and improve machine efficiency. Before the next job, you switch seamlessly to a manual lathe for a rework cut—then rig and flip a heavy component using the overhead crane with practiced, safe motions. Throughout the day, you inspect parts with micrometers, indicators, calipers, scales, and a profilometer, documenting results and keeping the shop tooling in top shape.

What You’ll Handle

• Operate safely and efficiently across turning, milling, drilling, reaming, boring, slotting, grinding, and tapping.
• Set up and run CNC vertical and horizontal mills and lathes; load programs and verify accuracy and throughput.
• Troubleshoot machining challenges and fine-tune processes to maintain quality and productivity.
• Maintain precise documentation for work performed and inspection outcomes.
• Rig, move, and flip heavy parts using overhead cranes while following all safety procedures and PPE requirements.
• Monitor, maintain, and care for shop tooling to ensure readiness and capability.
• Read and interpret complex blueprints; apply advanced GD&T and process knowledge.
• Measure and report dimensional features using scales, calipers, micrometers, profilometers, indicators, and related inspection equipment.

What You Bring

• At least 10 years of combined CNC and manual machining experience.
• Advanced understanding of blueprints, manufacturing processes, and GD&T.
• Advanced metrology skills and confidence with precision inspection tools.
• Knowledge of rigging and safe overhead crane use.
• Positive attitude, reliable attendance, and a commitment to a safety‑focused, efficient culture.
• Ability to work weekends and overtime as needed and to stand for extended periods.
