We're hiring a Senior CNC Machinist to join our 2nd shift team in the Birmingham area. This role is ideal for an experienced machinist who can independently set up, edit, and operate CNC equipment while producing precision components to tight tolerances.
You'll take ownership of the machining process from setup through final inspection, making tooling and machine adjustments as needed while ensuring every part meets quality standards. This position is well suited for someone who enjoys solving machining challenges and takes pride in producing high-quality work.
Schedule: 2nd Shift
Pay: $34-35/hr
What You'll Do:
- Set up, operate, and adjust CNC mills, lathes, grinders, and other precision machining equipment.
- Read and interpret blueprints, engineering drawings, GD&T, and work instructions.
- Select tooling, establish offsets, and make machine adjustments or program edits using G-code and M-code.
- Produce precision components while maintaining tight tolerances and quality standards.
- Perform first-piece, in-process, and final inspections using micrometers, calipers, depth micrometers, ID micrometers, and other precision measuring equipment.
- Troubleshoot machining, tooling, and dimensional issues to minimize downtime.
- Perform routine machine maintenance and identify equipment concerns.
- Accurately document production information and communicate issues with supervisors and teammates.
- Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work environment.
- Support and mentor less experienced machinists as needed.
Requirements
