Manual/CNC Machining Specialist -- Blueprint & Tolerance Expert

$20 - $30 per hour

Express Employment Professionals - Kalispell

Job Description

Job Description

Are you the machinist everyone calls when tolerances get tight?

If choosing between hard jaws, soft jaws, or an angle plate feels instinctive—and if fractions and decimals are second nature—you might be the Specialist we’re looking for in Kalispell, MT.

Why This Role

You’ll blend hands-on manual machining with CNC work to hit demanding quality goals on a reliable weekday schedule.

Role Details
  • Where: Kalispell, MT
  • When: Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–5:00 PM
  • Compensation: $20–$30 per hour DOE
Your Mission
  • Set up parts confidently using hard jaws, soft jaws, angle plates, and other workholding methods.
  • Apply the right machining strategies to achieve superior finishes, quick cycles, and minimal setups.
  • Select and adjust speeds/feeds to match material, tool, and tolerance needs.
  • Plan work using blueprints, job travelers, and tolerance specs; expect simple setups to run about 15–40 minutes, faster on repeat parts.
  • Run both manual mills and manual lathes to support and refine CNC operations.
  • Verify dimensions using micrometers, calipers, height gages, and go/no-go gages.
  • Protect throughput and deadlines without compromising quality.
What You Bring
  • Proficiency in manual milling and turning.
  • Strong knowledge of tolerances, GD&T concepts, and efficient setups.
  • Ability to interpret complex prints and technical drawings.
  • Comfort with precision inspection tools and methods.
  • Math fluency across fractions and decimals.
  • Meticulous attention to detail and a quality-first mindset.
Strengths We Value
  • CNC programming capability
  • Manual machining skill
  • Blueprint reading expertise
Machines You’ll Use
  • CNC mills: 3–4 axis VMCs and 5+ axis VMCs
  • CNC lathes: 2–4 axis and 5+ axis

Imagine walking in on Monday, setting up a new component in under 40 minutes, validating critical dimensions on the first pass, and watching the program hit its cycle-time target. If that sounds like your kind of win, we’d like to meet you.
