- Set and adjust tool offsets, work with Fanuc controls, and use G and M codes with confidence.
- Make CNC program edits and changes so jobs run smoother over time.
- Catch issues early, fix problems at the machine, and prevent scrap.
- Communicate clearly with your team to keep work flowing from shift to shift.
Skills You'll Build
Over the next few years, this role can help you sharpen:
- CNC machining in turning and/or milling.
- Fanuc controls and practical programming edits.
- Blueprint reading and geometric tolerancing.
- Tool selection, offsets, and how they affect size, finish, and cycle time.
- Problem-solving, time management, and communication on a busy shift.

- Ability to work MondayFriday on either:
- 6:00 am 4:30 pm, or
- 4:20 pm 2:50 am (second shift), plus overtime when needed.
- A few years of CNC experienceturning, milling, or both.
- Familiarity with tolerances, Fanuc controls, G/M codes, tool offsets, and basic CNC edits.
- Strong work ethic, reliability, and pride in doing the job right.
