• Set up and operate 3-axis CNC mills to run full machining cycles for both high- and low-volume production.
• Optimize set-up times and maximize machine utilization to improve overall productivity.
• Read and interpret blueprints, route instructions, and other technical documentation to understand job specifications and requirements.
• Apply Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) principles to ensure parts meet all specified tolerances and quality standards.
• Troubleshoot CNC programs and make necessary adjustments to maintain part quality and efficient operation.
• Configure CNC equipment, maintain tool and work offsets, and verify that machines are properly prepared for each job.
• Perform in-process part inspections with a high degree of precision using appropriate measuring tools.
• Follow established in-process inspection procedures and promptly notify supervisory or lead personnel when non-conformances occur.
• Communicate effectively with programmers, quality personnel, and other team members to receive assignments and resolve quality or production issues.
• Support continuous improvement efforts related to machining processes, set-up methods, and part quality.

Essential

Skills:

• Minimum of 5 years of experience operating CNC mill machines in a manufacturing environment, including performing set-ups.
• Proficiency in setting up and running 3-axis CNC mills for production.
• Ability to read and interpret blueprints and route instructions accurately.
• Strong understanding and practical use of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T).
• Hands-on experience with G-code and the ability to make program adjustments as needed.
• Experience using micrometers and other precision measuring tools for part inspection.
• Ability to troubleshoot machining programs and processes to resolve issues quickly.
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to producing parts within specified tolerances.
• Effective communication skills for working with programmers, quality personnel, and other team members.

Additional Skills &

Qualifications:

• Experience operating CNC equipment from brands such as Brother, Doosan, Takumi, and Siemens is preferred but not required.
• Familiarity with calipers, gauges, and other inspection tools used in machining environments.
• Experience in operating mills and lathes in a production setting.
• Experience with multi-axis CNC machining, including 5-axis equipment, is a plus.
• Ability to perform efficient machine set-ups and changeovers to support varied production needs.

Why Work Here?

Employees enjoy a supportive team environment with practical benefits that enhance daily work life. Paid breaks, including lunch, are provided both during the contract period and after conversion to full-time. After a three-month contract-to-hire period, employees receive five company-provided uniforms, color-coordinated by day to reinforce team identity and simplify daily attire decisions. A $100 voucher is offered to purchase new steel-toe footwear, reflecting a commitment to safety and comfort.

Competitive benefits further support long-term stability, wellbeing, and work-life balance in a collaborative, team-focused culture.

Work Environment:

This role is based in a non-climate-controlled manufacturing environment, where CNC mills and other machining equipment are used to produce precision parts. The setting is hands-on and production-oriented, with an emphasis on safety, teamwork, and consistent quality. Employees work closely with programmers, quality staff, and fellow machinists in a highly collaborative atmosphere. After full-time hire, uniforms are provided and color-coordinated for each day of the week, creating a cohesive team appearance and simplifying dress expectations.

Steel-toe footwear is required, and support is provided through a footwear voucher. The environment is fast-paced,…
