Job Description
Day in the life — Cross Plains, WI
Picture starting your shift by loading a new program on a 3–4 axis VMC, confirming tool offsets, and dialing in speeds and feeds for a thin-gauge plastic job. You verify blueprints and GD&T callouts, run a first-article, and fine-tune to hit both tolerance and surface finish requirements. Midday, you pivot to a 2–4 axis Mazak lathe, troubleshoot a minor alarm, perform quick maintenance, and keep production flowing. Before clocking out, you transfer files, document quality checks, and hand off a clean setup for the next run.
We have multiple immediate openings for CNC professionals who can set up, operate, and support basic programming in a fast-paced shop.
What you’ll do- Set up, operate, and maintain CNC mills (3–4 axis VMC) and CNC lathes (2–4 axis) with Fanuc and Mazatrol controls.
- Read and interpret blueprints and geometric tolerances; execute first-piece inspections and in-process checks.
- Calculate feeds/speeds and perform metric/imperial conversions using solid shop math.
- Hold tight tolerances and meet specified surface finish requirements across a variety of materials, including thin-gauge work (0.007"–.120").
- Troubleshoot minor mechanical and control issues; perform routine maintenance to maximize uptime.
- Transfer programs/files and leverage basic computer skills to support efficient workflows.
- Required: 2+ years of manual/CNC experience (setup or programming) or a Machine Tool degree.
- Preferred: Experience with Fanuc or Mazatrol controls; Mastercam or similar CAM/programming background.
- Preferred: Background with 3-axis mills or lathes; machine troubleshooting/maintenance.
- Preferred: Exposure to mold/tool & die, thermoforming, plastics manufacturing, or thin-gauge materials (0.007"–.120").
- Equipment troubleshooting
- CNC programming
- CNC machine setup & changeover
- CNC Mill: 3–4 axis VMC (Fanuc, Mazak)
- CNC Lathe: 2–4 axis (Mazak)
- $55,000–$75,000 per year (based on experience)
- Top-tier benefits
- Plenty of overtime
- PTO
- 401(k)
- & more
