Date posted: August 17, 2026 Pay: $21.00 - $23.00 per hour Job description: CNC Machine Operator

Position Overview

Our client is seeking an experienced CNC Machine Operator to set up and operate CNC routers and milling machines in a manufacturing environment. This position is ideal for someone with hands‑on CNC experience who can read blueprints, perform precise measurements, change tooling, and troubleshoot machine operations. Graphical-based CNC programming experience is strongly preferred. Experience with wood‑industry CNC router programming is highly desirable, particularly experience with WoodWOP/Homag equipment. G-Code programming is not required, as the machines utilize graphical-based programming. The ideal candidate will also have experience working with solid surface materials, such as Corian, and experience with CNC nesting is a plus.

Overtime schedules vary based on production requirements. Production schedules are typically communicated on Thursday for the following week. Reliable attendance is a non‑negotiable requirement.

Key Responsibilities

• Set up and operate CNC routers, milling machines, and related manufacturing equipment.
• Produce components according to required specifications, dimensions, materials, and color.
• Review work instructions, labels, blueprints, engineering drawings, and material specifications.
• Prepare and set up machines for daily production.
• Change programs and machine setups multiple times throughout the day in a low‑volume, high‑variation production environment.
• Perform graphical‑based CNC programming as required.
• Make program adjustments to ensure accurate and quality production.
• Perform CNC nesting as needed.
• Work with solid surface materials, including materials similar to Corian.
• Inspect finished products to ensure they meet quality and dimensional requirements.
• Use tape measures and other measuring tools to verify precise dimensions.
• Calibrate and change machine tooling as needed.
• Identify and report quality issues or machine problems to the appropriate supervisor.
• Perform basic preventative maintenance and assist in maintaining machines in proper working condition.
• Follow established safety procedures and maintain a clean and organized work area.
• Participate in Lean Manufacturing, 5S, and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Work collaboratively with team members to meet daily production goals.
• Use material‑handling equipment, including a vacuum lift, to safely move large sheets of material.
• Perform other duties as assigned by management.
