About Us

We are a growing manufacturing company producing equipment and components for our customers. Our operations include machining, fabrication, welding, assembly, painting, and final production of complete units. We are focused on quality, efficiency, and building a strong, reliable team.

Position Overview

We are seeking a CNC Machinist (CAD/CAM) to support machining operations at our Maysville location. This role is responsible for programming, setting up, and operating CNC equipment to produce quality parts to specification.

You will work from Autodesk Inventor (CAD) models and use CAM processes to generate and run programs. This is not a basic operator role—we are looking for someone who can take ownership of the machining process from model to finished part.

While machining is the primary focus, this position may also support other areas of production as needed.

Key Responsibilities

• Program, set up, and operate CNC machines (mills, lathes, saws etc)
• Read and interpret blueprints, drawings, and work instructions
• Select tooling, set offsets, and optimize machining processes
• Inspect parts to ensure they meet quality standards and specifications
• Troubleshoot machining issues and make necessary adjustments
• Maintain a clean, safe, and organized work area
• Support other areas of production when needed

What We’re Looking For

• Experience with CNC programming and operation
• Working knowledge of CAD/CAM software (Autodesk Inventor / Fusion 360 preferred)
• Ability to go from model → program → finished part
• Strong understanding of machining processes, tooling, and setup
• Ability to read and interpret technical drawings
• Attention to detail and commitment to quality
• Reliable and able to work independently
• Willingness to contribute across the shop as needed

Additional Information

This role is primarily machining-focused but may assist in other areas of production depending on workload. Candidates should be comfortable working in a flexible, team-oriented environment.

Physical Requirements
