Job Description

Job Description

Own the craft. Elevate the standard. Grow your future.

CCT Enterprises is growing, and we’re looking for a Precision Swiss Lathe Set-Up Lead to champion quality and efficiency on our 2nd shift. With a Monday–Thursday, four 10-hour schedule, you’ll enjoy a three-day weekend every week while helping us deliver precision parts that matter.

Your mission

Be the expert who transforms an established job into a stable, repeatable, high-yield process. You’ll set up Swiss-style CNC equipment, validate first-piece quality, and keep production on target—troubleshooting proactively, mentoring teammates, and continuously improving the process.

Impact areas

• Setup excellence: complete setups on established Swiss jobs; install/adjust tooling, holders, guide bushings, bar feeders, and workholding
• Process control: set offsets, perform tool changes, make minor program edits, and verify first-piece to blueprint
• Throughput & quality: monitor tool wear/chatter, correct dimensional variation, and minimize scrap and downtime
• Compliance & documentation: perform in-process inspections, follow ISO/IATF procedures, and keep records accurate
• Problem-solving: troubleshoot setup/machining issues independently and support continuous improvement
• Collaboration & training: communicate with supervisors, quality, and operators; mentor newer operators
• Safety & care: maintain a clean, safe work area; report hazards promptly; understand E‑stop procedures

What you’ll need

• High school diploma or GED
• Minimum 1 year of CNC Swiss setup experience with the ability to run independent setups
• Ability to read blueprints and setup docs; skilled with precision measuring equipment
• Working knowledge of tooling, offsets, and speeds/feeds; capable of minor program edits
• Reliable transportation, strong attendance, and self-direction with minimal supervision

What sets you apart

• High-volume production background
• Experience on Citizen, Star, Tsugami, or comparable Swiss machines
• Mechanical troubleshooting ability; experience running multiple machines
• Comfort in ISO/IATF manufacturing environments

How we define success

• Pride in meticulous work and tight tolerances
• Dependability and consistency, day after day
• Ownership of results and a drive to make processes better
• Team-minded communication and a positive presence on the floor
• Love of solving machining challenges and a commitment to learning

Scope and boundaries

This role is about independent Swiss setups, hands-on troubleshooting, protecting throughput and quality, and supporting operators and continuous improvement.

This role is not an entry-level operating job, a programming-only role, or a button-pushing assignment.

Hands-on Swiss setup experience is required, along with the ability to support production with minimal supervision.

Rewards

• $25–$28 per hour depending on experience
• Direct Hire
• Medical, Dental, Vision
• 401(k)
• Paid Time Off
• Education Assistance
• Benefits begin 60 days after your start date

Growth at CCT

We invest in people who invest in themselves. Demonstrate initiative, reliability, leadership, and continuous learning to advance into Programming, Manufacturing Engineering, Quality, Production Leadership, and more.

Work schedule

• Full-Time
• 2nd Shift
• Monday–Thursday
• Four 10-Hour Shifts
• Three-Day Weekend Every Week

Physical demands

• Standing for extended periods
• Lifting up to 25 pounds
• Manual dexterity and focus for repetitive, high-precision tasks

Additional Requirements

Due to CCT Enterprises' federal firearms license (FFL) and company hiring standards, applicants must not have any felony convictions, pending felony charges, or other disqualifying criminal history .

If you’re ready to lead with precision and grow with a company that promotes from within, we’d love to hear from you.
