This hybrid position combines hands-on machine tending with accurate production data entry and tracking, ensuring smooth operations, minimal downtime, and precise documentation. Ideal for candidates who enjoy a balance of active shop-floor work (interacting with automated machines and team members) and focused desk-based tasks (data accuracy and record-keeping).

No prior CNC experience required—comprehensive on-the-job training provided.

This entry-to-mid-level role supports manufacturing efficiency by keeping machines running continuously while maintaining reliable production records for orders, inventory, quality, and completions.

• Enter and update production order data, completions, statuses, and discrepancies in internal systems (ERP/MRP or similar).
• Record QC results, inspection documentation, inventory, and work-in-process.
• Close/complete orders in the system, reconcile counts, and organize digital/paper records for audits.
• Identify/correct data errors; communicate with supervisors, planners, quality, and production teams for clarifications.
