CNC Metal Fabrication Machining Specialist

Job Description

Job Description

Is this you?

Do you thrive on turning a blueprint into a flawless metal part? Can you set up a CNC mill or lathe, set offsets, and validate your work with precision gauges? Are you just as comfortable deburring and documenting as you are editing a line of G-code? If you also enjoy variety—moving between CNC equipment and, when needed, presses, brakes, or other fab tools—keep reading.

What you’ll do

• Own setups and operation on CNC and/or manual equipment to meet exact specifications
• Read and interpret prints, drawings, setup sheets, and work orders with confidence
• Choose and install the right tooling, fixtures, and workholding for repeatable results
• Load programs, tweak offsets, and watch cycle performance for accuracy and surface quality
• Verify dimensions with calipers, micrometers, indicators, and other precision tools
• Handle secondary processes: deburring, drilling, tapping, and minor finishing
• Make minor program edits or mechanical adjustments (as appropriate)
• Diagnose and resolve setup or machining issues to limit scrap and downtime
• Log production details and quality checks accurately
• Perform basic maintenance—cleaning, lubrication, and routine tool changes
• Adhere to safety, quality, and housekeeping standards at all times

Must-haves

• Experience with CNC and/or fabrication machinery (mills, lathes, presses, brakes, etc.)
• Ability to understand technical drawings and follow work instructions
• Proficiency with precision measurement tools and inspection practices
• Knowledge of machining processes, tolerances, and material characteristics
• Detail orientation and a strong commitment to quality
• Ability to work independently and as part of a production team

Bonus points

• Hands-on CNC setup and offset expertise
• Comfort with G-code or conversational controls such as Mazatrol
• CAD/CAM or CNC programming exposure
• Experience with multi-axis machining
• Lean/continuous improvement mindset
• Personal hand tools available if the shop requires

The environment

• Active manufacturing setting with machinery, noise, and shop materials
• Frequent standing, walking, bending, and reaching
• Ability to lift 40–50 lbs as needed
• PPE must be worn as required

Role specifics

• Full-time, onsite position
• Shift availability may include day or night shift
• Compensation and title aligned with experience level
