• Direct Impact: Play an important role in keeping customer equipment operating and completing custom manufacturing projects on schedule.

Key Responsibilities and Duties

• Set up and operate CNC mills and/or CNC lathes to produce custom and replacement components.
• Read and interpret blueprints, engineering drawings, dimensions, tolerances, and machining specifications.
• Select appropriate tooling, workholding, speeds, feeds, and machining sequences.
• Load programs and make necessary edits to offsets, tool compensation, speeds, feeds, and basic G-code.
• Perform machine setups, including installing fixtures, locating workpieces, touching off tools, and completing first-piece verification.
• Manufacture components for plating equipment, automated hoists, barrels, industrial machines, tanks, and related assemblies.
• Machine one-off parts, replacement components, and small-to-medium production runs.
• Work with various metals and industrial-grade materials based on individual project requirements.
• Inspect finished components using micrometers, calipers, gauges, and other precision measuring instruments.
• Verify that completed parts meet blueprint dimensions, tolerances, and quality requirements.
• Identify machining problems and make adjustments to tooling, offsets, workholding, or cutting conditions.
• Perform deburring and basic finishing of completed components.
• Maintain accurate job, inspection, and production documentation.
• Complete routine machine maintenance and keep the work area clean and organized.
• Coordinate with engineering, fabrication, assembly, and production personnel to resolve print or manufacturing questions.
• Follow all applicable safety procedures and established quality standards.

Qualifications Needed

• High school diploma or GED required; technical training in machining, CNC technology, or a related discipline preferred.
• Minimum 3 years of CNC machining experience in a manufacturing, machine-shop, or custom-equipment environment.
• Demonstrated experience independently setting up and operating CNC mills and/or CNC lathes.
• Strong blueprint-reading skills, including dimensions, tolerances, geometric callouts, and machining symbols.
• Experience selecting tooling, establishing work offsets, touching off tools, and completing first-piece inspections.
• Ability to adjust machine offsets and perform basic CNC program or G-code edits.
• Experience using micrometers, calipers, bore gauges, height gauges, and other precision inspection equipment.
• Proven ability to manufacture parts accurately from engineering drawings and job specifications.
• Comfortable handling custom, one-off, and short-run machining assignments.
• Ability to troubleshoot tooling, setup, dimensional, and machining-related issues.
