CNC Mill Machinist - All Shifts

CNC Mill Machinist - All Shifts Available

Hazelett Corporation is a global leader in continuous metal casting technology. Our strip-casting machines integrate mechanical, electrical, thermal, and automation systems to produce materials used in automotive structural components, aluminum foil, lead-acid batteries, and copper wiring. Our machines are known for their robust design, high productivity, and energy efficiency. We design, manufacture, and assemble our machines in-house and are committed to fostering the development and long-term growth of our employees.

Full-time

Hazelett Corporation is seeking a highly skilled, detail-oriented CNC Mill Machinist to join our manufacturing team. Hazelett designs, builds, and services custom continuous casting equipment used globally across the non-ferrous metals industry. Because our equipment is tailored to specialized continuous casting applications, our machine shop operates as a low-volume, high-mix custom manufacturing environment—not a repetitive, high-volume production line. You will work on varied, complex, and low-quantity work pieces where quality, mechanical intuition, and precise setup capability are critical.

Full-Time Schedule Options: 1st, 2nd, and 3rd shift available, with 4x10 schedule options Monday-Thursday.
* 20% Shift Premium for 2nd and 3rd shifts.

• Setup & Production Execution:
  Perform complete, independent setups of vertical and horizontal CNC milling machines for short-run, complex, high-precision components.
• Workholding & Rigging:
  Determine optimal work holding strategies and safely rig large/irregular castings or forgings into machines using overhead cranes and hoists.
• Blueprint & Technical Interpretation:
  Interpret complex engineering prints, GD&T geometric tolerances, CAD models, and shop sketches to establish accurate machining processes and datum structures.
• Control & Program Adjustments:
  Load, prove out, and optimize G-code programs at the controller. Perform tool length offsets, work coordinate offsets, cutter compensation, and minor code edits to accommodate material variations or design changes.
• Tooling & Process Optimization:
  Select appropriate tooling, insert grades, feeds, and speeds based on varying workpiece materials.
• In-Process Quality & Inspection:
  Measure and inspect first-piece and finished parts using micrometers, depth gauges, bore gauges, indicators, and height stands to maintain tight tolerances across unique job lots.
• Continuous Safety & Care:
  Maintain a clean, safe, and organized workstation, adhering to safety protocols while handling raw materials, heavy rigging, and precision tooling.

• Experience:
  
  3+ years of experience performing independent setups and operating CNC mills in a low-volume/high-mix job shop or custom machinery manufacturing environment.
• Technical Setup Proficiency:
  Proven ability to set up work pieces from scratch, set offsets, establish fixtures, prove out new G-code programs safely (dry runs/single block), and trouble-hoot setup issues.
• Code Familiarity:
  Hands-on experience reading and editing G-code/M-code directly at the machine interface.
• Precision Measurement:
  Skilled in the use of precision tools (micrometers, vernier calipers, bore gauges, dial indicators) and reading GD&T symbols.
• Rigging & Material Handling:
  Experience with overhead crane operation, rigging heavy or irregularly shaped work pieces, and forklift operation.
• Adaptability & Problem Solving:
  Strong spatial awareness, mechanical aptitude, and a self-directed mindset capable of transitioning between different parts, setups, and materials efficiently.
• Safety First Mindset:
  Unwavering commitment to personal safety, PPE standards, overhead lifting precautions, and machine guarding.
