Build a long-term career with a growing Calgary manufacturer expanding into new materials and regulated markets
About Next Level Advanced Manufacturing  Next Level Advanced Manufacturing is a Calgary-based manufacturing startup built by people who like solving hard problems on the shop floor. The business combines precision CNC machining with metal additive manufacturing, inspection, and engineering support to deliver high-mix, low-volume parts that demand careful thinking and hands-on experience. Today, the team supports customers across energy and industrial sectors, while steadily expanding into aerospace, space, and defence as new certifications and capabilities come online.

Investments in multi-axis equipment, advanced materials, and tight quality systems mean employees work on parts that are rarely routine and often first-of-their-kind.
This is a hands-on, high-performing environment where machinists, engineers, and problem-solvers collaborate closely, influence process planning, and shape how work gets done. With a small, highly skilled team, individuals take ownership early, gain exposure across additive and subtractive manufacturing, and grow alongside a business moving toward product development and new markets.

About the Opportunity  Next Level Advanced Manufacturing is looking for a full-time Day-Shift Senior Mill/Turn Machinist, Setter / Programmer based in Calgary, AB.
Reporting to the Manufacturing Manager, you will be responsible for setting up, proving out, and machining complex mill/turn work, with accountability for process planning, first-article quality, and producing parts to print in a high-mix, low-volume environment.
In this position, you will be primarily responsible for translating drawings into reliable machining processes, setting up advanced equipment, and supporting both conventional CNC and hybrid additive-manufacturing work.
More specifically, your responsibilities include but are not limited to:
Setting up tooling, work holding, and fixturing on a DMG MORI NTX 7-axis mill/turn
Proving out programs and supporting process planning for complex, one-off and short-run parts
Interpreting drawings and ensuring parts are machined to print and tolerance
Performing first-article inspection and in-process verification
Machining a wide range of materials, including tight-tolerance and difficult-to-hold components
Supporting hybrid additive-manufacturing jobs through post-print finish machining
Working within evolving quality systems aligned with ISO 9001 and AS9100 requirements as they are implemented
Collaborating closely with engineering and programming to refine machining methods

About You  To qualify, you will have 5+ years of experience in a CNC machining environment focused on mill/turn work, with hands-on responsibility for setup, prove-out, and machining of complex parts. Strong fundamentals in G-code and M-code, a working understanding of manual machining principles, and the ability to read and interpret manufacturing drawings with a solid grasp of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) standards will be essential.
Formal trade certification is not required. A Journeyperson Machinist ticket or Interprovincial Red Seal will be considered an asset, but equivalent hands-on experience in technically demanding or regulated machining environments is equally valued.
Additionally, the following skills and background will be highly valued:
Experience setting up and proving out complex mill/turn work
Strong process-planning skills, including work holding and operation sequencing
Experience working in high-mix, low-volume or prototyping-style environments
Confidence machining tight-tolerance parts with challenging geometries
Experience performing first-article and in-process inspection
Exposure to multi-axis CNC equipment in non-production settings
Comfort machining a wide variety of materials
