CNC Metal Fabrication Machining Specialist

Express Saint Louis

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
