Can you read blueprints, tweak programs, and keep production moving with minimal scrap?

Are you the go‑to person for troubleshooting tooling and dimensional issues on CNC mills?

What you’ll tackle

• Run independent setups on established CNC milling jobs—vises, fixtures, tooling, holders, and probes included.
• Interpret setup sheets, travelers, and work instructions; set tool lengths and all relevant offsets.
• Perform tool changes and minor program edits; release jobs only after first‑piece verification.
• Monitor machine performance; resolve process issues to protect quality and throughput.
• Support production schedules; promptly communicate delays or concerns to supervision.

Own the quality

• Perform first‑piece, in‑process, and final inspections using precision measuring equipment.
• Confirm parts match blueprint specifications and customer requirements.
• Identify, segregate, and report nonconforming material.
• Complete all quality and production documentation; follow ISO/IATF procedures and standards.

Partner and improve

• Collaborate with operators, quality, supervisors, and machinists.
• Help train newer operators and setup techs; support continuous improvement efforts.
• Recommend changes that reduce downtime and improve efficiency.

Safety matters

• Keep your area clean, organized, and safe.
• Follow safe machining practices and all company procedures.
• Report unsafe conditions, incidents, or equipment concerns immediately; know E‑stop procedures.

What you bring

Required

• High school diploma or GED.
• 2+ years of CNC mill setup experience with independent setup capability.

• Reliable transportation, dependable attendance; able to work with minimal supervision.

Preferred

• Experience on vertical and multi‑axis machining centers.
• Familiar with Fanuc or Haas controls.
• High‑volume production machining background.
• Experience with JobBOSS or similar systems; exposure to lean/CI.

Role clarity

This role is: Independent CNC mill setups; troubleshooting machining/tooling/production issues; supporting operators; producing parts that meet customer specifications.
