Job description

Express Employment is now hiring a skilled CNC Programmer to use computer numerically controlled (CNC) machinery safely and accurately to perform a variety of functions. Your job is important since some materials are not easy to shape or handle manually or with conventional equipment. You will be responsible for developing software programs that direct CNC machines to cut and shape metal or plastic to produce components for airplanes, automobiles, tools/dies/molds, andother industrial machined parts and tools. Using 3-dimensional computer designs (CAD models) and/or blueprints that define the configuration of the required component, CNC Programmers use CAM (computer-aided manufacturing) software programs to generate the program code that guides CNC machines to perform machining operations which result in precise finished components – efficiently and safely.
