What You'll Do

You'll handle both set-up and operation for CNC mills and lathes in a small, hands-on shop producing custom metal parts for a variety of industries (appliance, aerospace, HVAC, electrical). Your day will include:

• Reading blueprints and selecting the correct tooling for each job.
• Performing set-ups; making necessary machine offsets/adjustments.
• Running first-article parts and verifying dimensions before production.
• Monitoring jobs in process and changing out tooling and wear items as needed.
• Using micrometers and calipers to inspect parts to spec.
• Performing basic preventive maintenance and keeping a clean, organized work area.
• Collaborating with the shift supervisor to troubleshoot issues and keep work flowing.

Success Profile

This role is a good fit if you:

• Have 1-2 years of CNC set-up experience (mills and/or lathes) in manufacturing.
• Read blueprints confidently and work well with gauges, micrometers, and calipers.
• Bring solid troubleshooting and problem-solving skills.
• Can work in a loud, fast-moving shop; stand for long periods; and lift up to 40 lbs.
• Are a team player who's comfortable working independently with minimal supervision.
• Value a laid-back but accountable environment where quality and safety matter.

Work Environment

You'll join a tight-knit team on a busy production floor making custom, made-to-order parts-not high-volume commodity work. The pace is steady, the work is detailed, and the team takes pride in getting parts right the first time. Safety is a daily priority, and you'll have the tools and PPE you need to do the job well.
