CNC Turning Center Setup Specialist

Who we are: Durex Industries is an ISO 9001 registered manufacturer crafting custom thermal components that enable heat, sensing, and precision temperature control for critical systems worldwide.

Is this you?

• Do you enjoy building a setup from scratch—selecting tools, dialing offsets, and validating first-piece quality?
• Can you read complex prints and interpret G-code, cutter comp, tapping cycles, and I & J interpolation without breaking a sweat?
• Are you the person others ask for help when a tool wears out, a feed rate needs tweaking, or a program needs a quick edit?
• Do you take pride in mentoring operators and creating a safe, high-performing environment?

What you’ll tackle

• Plan and execute setups for conventional and close-tolerance CNC lathes using blueprints, drawings, and manuals.
• Load programs; select/install tooling; set work/tool offsets; apply precise cutter compensation.
• Perform first-article and in-process inspections with micrometers, calipers, and indicators to meet tight tolerances.
• Troubleshoot, optimize speeds/feeds, change tooling, and adjust programs to boost throughput and quality.
• Complete logs, sign-offs, and quality records; coach operators to standardize best practices.

What sets you up for success

• Blueprint literacy; proficiency with G-code, cutter comp, tapping cycles, and I & J circular moves.
• Machining math proficiency: SFM, feeds, and RPM calculations across materials.
• Skilled with micrometers, calipers, indicators, and edge finders.
• Self-starter with craftsmanship mindset and a team-aware approach.
• Education: High School Diploma or GED preferred.

Work environment & hours

• Stand frequently; occasionally lift up to 30 lbs; operate comfortably in a fast-paced manufacturing setting.
