CNC Manufacturing Programmer — Hurco/Haas Mill-Turn Specialist

Location: Omaha, NE
Pay: $25.00–$40.00 per hour, DOE
Schedule: Monday–Friday, 7:00 AM–3:30 PM
Employment Type: Full-Time
Industry: Precision Manufacturing – Food Processing Equipment & Aftermarket Parts

A Day in the Role

At 7:00 AM, you power up a Hurco mill and load a carefully chosen tool set. By mid-morning, you have a first-article stainless component dialed in to within 0.0005"–0.003" using micrometers and calipers. After lunch, you pivot to a Haas lathe, refining offsets and tweaking G-code so a critical aftermarket part ships on time. Between runs, you collaborate with teammates to solve a tricky workholding problem, leaving both the setup and the work area organized for the next operator.
