CNC Machinist

Stop Doing Boring Mass-Production. Start Building Custom Metal Work!

Are you tired of standing in front of a machine pushing the same green button on a 10,000-piece run?

We are currently recruiting a skilled CNC Machinist for a top-tier custom metal fabrication shop in Marietta. This company specializes in high-end architectural signage, custom dimensional branding, and structural metal art. Every job that hits your machine is unique, keeping your day fast-paced and your skills sharp.

• Set Up & Machine:
  Operate flatbed CNC routers, fiber lasers, or plasma tables to cut non-ferrous and ferrous metals (aluminum, brass, stainless, and mild steel).
• Vector & CAM Prep:
  Import DXF, AI, and EPS files into CAM software (VCarve, EnRoute, Fusion 360, etc.) to set toolpaths, establish feeds/speeds, and maximize sheet nesting.
• Material Fixturing:
  Utilize vacuum systems, mechanical clamps, and custom work-holding methods to prevent chatter on thin sheet goods.
• Quality Inspection:
  Verify tight tolerances using calipers and shop prints, followed by deburring and prepping parts for paint, powder coat, or assembly.

• 2+ years of hands-on experience running CNC cutting machinery in a sign, sheet metal, or custom manufacturing environment.
• strong understanding of CAM software, G-code, and feed/speed selection for cutting aluminum and brass.
• Ability to read scale shop drawings and vector file structures.
• A keen eye for quality—catching file discrepancies or material defects before running a cut.

• Competitive Compensation:
  Top-market hourly rates based on your experience level.
• Comprehensive Benefits:
  Health, Dental, Vision, 401(k) matching, and generous Paid Time Off.
• Direct-Hire Security:
  Jump straight onto our client's permanent payroll with long-term stability.
• Modern Work Environment:
  Work in a clean, well-lit, fully equipped shop with high-performing machinery and a great team atmosphere.

• Material Handling:
  Load and secure raw metal sheets (aluminum, brass, copper, steel) using vacuum tables, mechanical clamps, or custom jigs.
• Quality & Precision Control:
  Measure finished parts using calipers, micrometers, and tape measures against design proofs and blue prints to ensure tight tolerances.
• Deburring & Finishing Prep:
  Perform basic post-machining tasks such as deburring edges, countersinking holes, and preparing surfaces for powder coating, paint, or anodizing.
