Become a Key Player as a CNC Machine Operator

You will keep production moving by setting up, operating, and troubleshooting CNC mills, lathes, and mill-turn centers. Your work directly affects part quality, on-time delivery, and collaboration with engineering and production teams. This is an onsite role covering 2nd or 3rd shift (3:00 PM–11:30 PM or 11:00 PM–7:30 AM); please note preferred shift on your resume.

Here's How You'll Make an Impact on the Team

• Edit, set up, operate, and perform preventive maintenance on CNC machines and production support equipment
• Read manufacturing prints and machine drawings to ensure correct tooling, fixturing, offsets, and process parameters
• Load and vet NC programs, adjust offset tables, and maintain/replace cutting tools
• Program pre-setters and shrink-fit equipment; set tool life parameters and understand macro programming/subroutines
• Measure and record in-process QA data, perform calibration checks, and electronically document production data
• Operate material handling equipment (hoists, cranes, tow motors) and move material to enable production flow
• Train and assist less-skilled machinists and operators; communicate with engineering to resolve program or process issues
• Perform 1st-piece prove outs and ensure workholding alignment using indicators, micrometers, and calipers
• Maintain 6S/housekeeping standards and use required PPE; be available for overtime as needed

Here's What You'll Need to Be Successful in This Role

• High school diploma or GED
• 2–4 years of experience working with CNC machines (mills, lathes, mill-turn)
• Ability to read blueprints, prints, and process specifications
• Practical experience with measuring tools (calipers, micrometers, depth gauges) and tool setting equipment
• Working knowledge of CNC controls and software (Fanuc, Haas, Mazatrol, Fagor, Siemens referenced)
• Understanding of work offsets, tool offset parameters, GD&T fundamentals, and CAD-CAM concepts
• Strong verbal and written communication skills and ability to work independently or in teams
• Ability to stand for extended periods and lift/push up to 50 pounds regularly

Here's What Else Might Help You Out

• Experience training others and documenting processes
• Familiarity with presetters, shrink-fit tooling, and advanced CNC programming techniques
