Methods Engineer​/CNC Programmer

Overview & Responsibilities

This is more than a programming role—it’s a chance to shape how things get made. As a Methods Engineer, you’ll provide the technical and administrative direction that keeps our manufacturing operation running at its best. You’ll generate CNC programs, create route sheets, and work side‑by‑side with the team on the floor to solve problems, reduce costs, and improve quality. If you like a role that blends hands‑on problem‑solving with strategic thinking, this is it.

This is both a line and support position.

• Line responsibilities mean you’ll help control and coordinate production activities to keep things moving smoothly.
• Support responsibilities mean you’ll develop and implement CNC programs and computer‑generated route sheets that directly impact how work gets done.

You’ll also help direct and coordinate activities across a multi‑functional department—including training programs, developing new manufacturing processes, and driving cost reduction.

While this is not a full‑time supervisory role, you’ll step into a supervisory capacity when needed. You’ll also lead and direct Bargaining Unit Personnel, so strong communication and people skills are a must.
