    Job Description

    Is this you?

    • Do you enjoy turning complex schematics into rock‑solid CNC installations?
    • Can you pinpoint a control fault, tune a drive, and have a spindle cutting true before the shift ends?
    • Do you thrive in the field—coordinating with project managers, customers, and supervisors to keep timelines on track?

    Role focus

    • Own end‑to‑end installation of CNC machine tools to exact OEM requirements and validate performance through live demonstrations.
    • Apply blueprints, wiring diagrams, manuals, and specs to plan and execute installs and repairs.
    • Troubleshoot and tune mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, and pneumatic subsystems to keep equipment within tolerance.
    • Use test instruments and hand tools to diagnose and correct issues; consult engineering on unusual behaviors.
    • Inspect assemblies, motion components, and safety functions for proper fit, alignment, and operation.
    • Set tool lists, parts, and equipment needed to complete each scope of work safely and efficiently.
    • Perform routine maintenance; help customers build effective preventive maintenance schedules.
    • Measure with precision (calipers, micrometers, height gauges) to verify setups and repairs.
    • Communicate daily progress and findings to project managers, supervisors, and customer stakeholders.
    • Report accidents or mistakes right away; support additional tasks as assigned.

    Baseline qualifications

    • High school diploma or equivalent plus CNC machine technician experience.
    • Fluency with shop math (fractions, percentages, ratios, proportions).
    • Solid computer literacy across email, record systems, databases, word processing, spreadsheets, and graphics; advanced Microsoft Office skills.
    • Active driver’s license; willingness to travel 15–20% with overnights, including 1–2‑week trips when required.
    • FANUC CNC control proficiency is mandatory.

    How we succeed together

    • Attendance: you show up ready and finish strong.
    • Dependability: you do what you say and own your outcomes.
    • Safety: you maintain clean work areas, use guards/devices, and follow SOPs, safety rules, and sound manufacturing practices daily.

    Physical and environmental snapshot

    • Roughly 20% stationary machine operation; constant use of powered equipment and regular movement to access tools, equipment, and parts.
    • Frequently working above/below machines; extensive fine and gross manipulation.
    • Clear communication with office and shop teams; near‑field visual inspection to identify defects and mechanical issues.
    • Routinely handle up to 50 lbs; transport and load parts and tools.
    • Occasional exposure to humidity, moving machinery, fumes/airborne particles, and caustic/toxic chemicals; typically moderate noise with periods of loud equipment.
    • PPE required around machinery and live electrical; warmer months can be hot while wearing PPE.
