TruckHouse builds premium expedition vehicles using aerospace-grade composite structures, precision machining, and best-in-class craftsmanship. We’re scaling our manufacturing capabilities and looking for a CNC Operator who’s excited to work in a fast-moving, high-mix environment where every part matters.

This role is ideal for someone early in their CNC career who has solid machine-operation fundamentals and is interested in growing into light CAM work, tooling/fixturing, and process optimization.

What You'll Do

• Operate 3-axis CNC machines to trim, drill, surface, and machine parts and composite foam cores
• Load, fixture, and verify parts with attention to detail and repeatability
• Run existing CNC programs and assist in basic edits or toolpath adjustments (as trained)
• Inspect and clean parts post-machining and move them into inventory
• Help maintain machine readiness: tool changes, offsets, cleaning, and basic PM tasks
• Support Manufacturing Engineering with prototype runs, fixturing tweaks, and process development
• Track work in MES/ERP and follow established work instructions
• Work closely with composite technicians and engineering to keep production flowing

What You Bring

• 1–3 years of CNC experience (router, mill, or 3-axis preferred)
• Ability to safely operate CNC machines and understand basic feeds, speeds, and offsets
• Comfort reading drawings and measuring to tolerances
• Exposure to CAM software (Fusion, Mastercam, or similar)
• Experience with composites or foam machining is helpful but not required
• Curiosity, reliability, and a willingness to grow into more advanced machining or CAM responsibilities

Why You'll Love This Job

• 4-day work week (Mon–Thu, 6:30 am – 4:30 pm)
• High-mix, low-volume environment—your work won’t be repetitive
• Small, tight-knit team where craftsmanship, accountability, and problem-solving are valued
