Senior CNC Machinist

Laborup; Provo (UT); On-site; USD 79,901,000 - 93,677,000; Full time

Job summary

Laborup in St. George, UT, is seeking a Senior CNC Machinist for our precision medical and prototyping shop. You will own the process end to end—from blueprint interpretation and multi-axis setup to first article prove-out and final inspection on large-format 5-axis mills and lathes, with 5-axis experience preferred but not required.

This high‑mix, low‑volume work features new setups on unproven parts, tight tolerances, and collaboration with engineers on part design and manufacturability.

Qualifications

• 3+ years CNC machining in precision work
• Set up complex jobs independently, start to finish
• Read complex blueprints and apply GD&T
• Hold tight tolerances on complex geometries
• Read and write G/M-code at the control
• Inspect parts with micrometers, indicators, and gauges
• Solid feeds, speeds, and tool wear fundamentals

Responsibilities

• Setups: Set up and run large-format CNC mills and lathes
• Prove-Out: Take unproven prototype parts from first article through final run
• Print Interpretation: Apply GD&T to complex blueprints, routings, and engineering models
• Workholding: Build fixturing strategies around tool clearance and collision avoidance
• Program Edits: Adjust feeds, speeds, offsets, and tool compensation at the control
• Inspection: Verify tight tolerances with micrometers, indicators, and gauges
• Design Feedback: Recommend part changes that improve manufacturability
• ERP Entry: Record quantities and process adjustments in the ERP system

Job description

Overview

We're hiring Senior CNC Machinists for our precision medical and prototyping shop in St. George, UT.

The work is high-mix, low-volume: complex prints, unproven prototype setups, and tight tolerances on large-format material. Parts run on large-format 5-axis CNC milling centers, and most jobs are new the first time you see them.

Machinists here own the process end to end — blueprint interpretation, multi-axis setup, workholding, first article prove-out, and final inspection — and work directly with engineers on part design. 5-axis experience is preferred, not required.

Why Join Us

• Own the whole part: Print through final inspection stays with one machinist.
• Prototype variety: New setups on unproven parts, not repeat production.
• Engineer access: Work directly with engineers on design and manufacturability changes.

Compensation

• $28 - $31 / hr

Hiring on 1st and 2nd Shift

• Monday - Friday

Relocation

• Relocation required. Assistance provided.

Responsibilities

• Setups: Set up and run large-format CNC mills and lathes
