CNC Horizontal Milling & Independent Operation

Candidates must have practical machining knowledge and the ability to make decisions during production.

This position requires more than loading parts and pressing cycle start. Operators must understand machining processes and be capable of recognizing problems, adjusting offsets, changing tooling, and maintaining consistent part quality.

Experience with horizontal milling operations, blueprint interpretation, and precision inspection is especially valuable.

Precision Measurement & Quality Control

Micrometer knowledge is required for this position.

Candidates must be comfortable using precision measuring instruments to inspect machined components and verify dimensional accuracy.

Responsibilities include checking tolerances, identifying defects, and making necessary adjustments to maintain quality.

Strong attention to detail and the ability to troubleshoot dimensional issues are essential.

Advanced Machining & Setup Experience

Candidates with additional experience performing CNC machine setups, selecting tooling, troubleshooting complex machining issues, and supporting other operators are strongly encouraged to apply.

Advanced machining capabilities may qualify candidates for compensation above the advertised rate.

Physical Requirements & Work Environment

This is a hands-on position in an industrial machining environment.

Candidates must be comfortable standing and walking for extended periods, bending, reaching, handling machined components, and working around active CNC equipment.

Work involves exposure to cutting tools, metal chips, machining fluids, and industrial machinery.

All required personal protective equipment and company safety procedures must be followed.

Schedule Requirements

Day Shift: Monday–Thursday | 6:00 AM – 4:00 PM
Regular Shift Length: 10 Hours

Candidates must be available for the assigned schedule and maintain dependable attendance.
