FULL TIME PROFESSIONAL Spartanburg, SC, US

Salary Range: $68,000.00 To $83,000.00 Annually

Put Your CNC Experience in the Driver’s Seat!

Are you an experienced CNC machinist who enjoys more than simply running someone else’s program?

Tietex International is looking for an experienced, hands‑on CNC professional who can take a job from drawing to finished part. This is an opportunity to take ownership of the machining process, create CAD/CAM programs, set up and operate equipment, solve problems, and help shape how our CNC operation runs.

What You’ll Do
  • Take machining jobs from start to finish, including reviewing drawings, selecting materials and tooling, machining, and final inspection.
  • Independently create and modify CAD/CAM programs and CNC toolpaths, including troubleshooting and adjusting G-code.
  • Set up and operate CNC mills, lathes, wire EDM, and other shop equipment as applicable.
  • Verify quality using micrometers, calipers, gauges, and other precision measuring instruments.
  • Manage tooling, materials, consumables, programming files, job records, and equipment needs.
  • Help improve machining processes, quality, tooling, programming, turnaround time, and cost.
  • Provide technical leadership and training as the department grows.
What We’re Looking For
  • 5+ years of CNC machining experience, including independent programming, setup, and operation.
  • Strong CAD/CAM and G-code programming skills.
  • Ability to read engineering drawings, tolerances, and specifications.
  • Strong knowledge of machining methods, cutting tools, work holding, feeds and speeds, and materials.
  • Ability to work independently, prioritize jobs, problem‑solve, and follow projects through completion.
  • Experience with Autodesk Inventor and Inventor CAM is strongly preferred, but candidates experienced with other systems who can learn Tietex’s software environment are encouraged to apply.
Why Tietex?

In addition to a Monday‑Friday, 8:00 AM‑5:00 PM schedule, Tietex offers a comprehensive benefits package.

Benefits listed in the current Tietex handbook include:

  • Additional Supplemental Insurance Options
  • Paid Vacation for full‑time employees
  • 9 Paid Holidays, with holiday‑pay eligibility upon hire.
  • Paid Parental Leave for eligible employees.
Ready for a CNC role where you can truly take ownership?

If you’re a skilled machinist who enjoys programming, creating, troubleshooting, improving processes, and seeing a job through from concept to completed part, we’d love to hear from you.
