CNC Machinist, Mill Setup: First Shift

About the Opportunity:

A precision machining facility is hiring a CNC Mill Setup Machinist for a full-time, direct position. The role focuses on low-volume production and custom component manufacturing rather than high-volume assembly lines. The machinist is responsible for taking projects independently from technical blueprints through to the finished part. 

What You’ll Do:

• Setup & Operation: Completes comprehensive setups on multi-axis CNC vertical and horizontal machining centers.
• G-Code Editing: Performs manual G-code edits, program checkouts, and adjustments directly at the machine control.
• Blueprint Reading: Interprets complex blueprints, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), and technical documentation.
• Quality Inspection: Utilizes precision measuring instruments (micrometers, calipers, gauges) to inspect first-piece and in-process components to maintain tight tolerances.
• Tooling Management: Selects correct tooling, calculates speeds and feeds for various raw materials, and manages tool wear offsets.

 What You Need:

• Experience: Requires a minimum of 5+ years of hands-on experience setting up and operating CNC machining centers (Haas controls preferred).
• Technical Skills: Possesses a proven ability to read and edit G-code at the machine controller without supervision.
• Autonomy: Demonstrates a strong ability to work independently on low-volume, high-mix custom parts (runs typically range from 1 to 300 pieces).
• Work Ethic: Requires strong problem-solving skills, close attention to detail, and a collaborative attitude suited for a small production shop. 

What We Offer:

• Competitive hourly wage with overtime opportunities.
• Comprehensive company health, dental, and vision insurance.
• Paid time off (PTO) and paid holidays.
• 401(k) retirement plan with an employer match. 

*Must be eligible to work in the United States without restriction.
