Job Description
Step into a True Custom Shop
Picture starting your day in a Capital Region machine shop where every part is different and your expertise sets the pace. Express Employment Professionals is hiring on behalf of a growing custom machining facility that thrives on short-run, one-off, and prototype work—not high-volume production. You’ll own setups, machining, on-machine programming, and problem-solving on Mazak equipment while crafting precision parts for power generation, infrastructure, defense, and data center applications.
What You’ll Do- Set up and run Mazak CNC machining centers with confidence and accuracy
- Create and edit programs right at the control to optimize cycle times and quality
- Produce custom and short-run precision components across small batches
- Work across diverse materials: stainless, aluminum, plastics, Inconel, and specialty alloys
- Interpret blueprints, drawings, and GD&T to meet tight tolerances
- Verify quality using precision metrology tools and document results
- Diagnose and resolve tooling, workholding, and programming issues
- Keep a safe, tidy workstation and collaborate with teammates to tackle unique jobs
- CNC Mill (5+ axis VMC) (Mazak)
- CNC Lathe (5+ axis) (Mazak)
- CNC Router
- Hands-on CNC machining background (job shop experience preferred)
- Strong setup capabilities; Mazak familiarity preferred
- Multi-axis or 5-axis experience is a plus
- Blueprint reading and precision measurement skills
- Mechanical aptitude with a proactive, troubleshooting mindset
- Stable work history and a collaborative, team-first approach
- CNC Tooling
- CNC Programming
- CNC Machine Setup & Changeover
- Machine Setups for Production Runs
- Pay: $36.00 – $42.00+ per hour (commensurate with experience)
- Job Type: Full-Time | In Person
- Schedule: Full-time; overtime available; final schedule discussed during interview
- Health Insurance (company pays approximately 70% of premium)
- Multiple health plan options
- Dental Insurance
- Disability Insurance
- Supplemental Insurance Options
- Paid Time Off (PTO)
- Overtime Opportunities
Bring your curiosity and independence. This stable, team-oriented shop rewards craftsmanship and initiative with long-term growth opportunities and a steady flow of challenging, varied work.
