Job Description

We’re hiring a 2nd Shift CNC Operator who cares about the work and wants to be part of a shop that values craftsmanship, consistency, and doing things the right way.

You won’t just push buttons — you’ll be trusted to run quality parts, keep machines dialed in, and speak up when something doesn’t look right.

If you take pride in tight tolerances, clean setups, and finishing your shift knowing you produced good work, you’ll fit in well here.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Run CNC machines to produce parts to print

  • Load and unload materials, monitor machine cycles

  • Inspect parts using calipers, micrometers, and gauges

  • Make minor offsets and adjustments to hold tolerance

  • Change tooling and keep machines running efficiently

  • Read basic blueprints and work instructions

  • Catch issues early before they become scrap

  • Keep your area clean, safe, and organized

What We’re Looking For

  • CNC operating experience (mills and/or lathes)

  • Ability to read prints and use inspection tools

  • Understanding of feeds, speeds, and offsets

  • Strong attention to detail and quality

  • Dependable, team-oriented mindset

  • Willingness to learn and grow on 2nd shift
