CNC Machinist - Second Shift

GPAC

CNC Machinist Second Shift

Sharpen Skills. Grow Pay. Own Your Future

For the Machinist Who Wants More

You've got a few solid years on CNC machines and you're ready for more than loading parts and pushing cycle start. This second-shift CNC Machinist role is for someone who wants real responsibility, more learning, and a clear path to a stronger career.

Second shift here isn't a dead endit's where you get more access to setups, edits, and problem-solving that grow your value fast.

What You'll Do

  • Run CNC turning and/or milling centers (vertical and horizontal).
  • Read blueprints, dimensions, and geometric tolerancing so you know exactly what "good" is.
  • Handle different part sizes, weights, and materials (including metals and castings), using cranes/slings when needed.
  • 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.

What You Bring

  • Current or recent shop employment and a clear reason you're open to a move.
  • 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.

Ready to Level Up?

If you're a CNC Machinist who wants more responsibility, more learning, and a second shift that actually builds your future, this is your chance.

When you apply, include:

  • Your current employment status and why you're considering a change.
  • Which shift you can commit to.
  • The types of machines, controls, and work (turning/milling) you know best.
