Must-Have Qualifications:

5–10+ years of experience setting up and operating CNC mills, lathes, or both.

Proven ability to perform multiple setups independently.

Strong understanding of GD&T and blueprint reading.

Skilled in inspecting parts, adjusting offsets, and using micrometers, calipers, and other measuring tools.

Clear, professional communication skills—especially critical for 2nd shift roles.

Nice-to-Have Qualifications:

CNC programming experience (Mastercam preferred).

Familiarity with Mazak, DMG Mori, and HAAS controls.

Experience running both mills and lathes.

Willingness to train or mentor fellow machinists.

Shift: 1st Shift
