CNC Turning Center Programmer / Setup / Operator – Immediate Opening

425 Manufacturing in Rockford, IL is looking for an experienced CNC Turning Center Programmer / Setup / Operator to join our growing team.

The ideal candidate will have at least 4 years of complete G-code programming experience — not just making small edits at the machine.

Our turning department runs on late-model Haas equipment, including:

  • (1) Haas ST-10

This position will help oversee and keep our CNC lathe department running efficiently. (Note: there is another setup/operator already working in this area.)

We offer:

  • Competitive wages
  • 70% company-paid medical insurance
  • 100% company-paid dental, uniforms, vacation, holidays, and your birthday off
  • 3% company retirement match
  • A clean, organized, and modern facility with great equipment and plenty of programming opportunities

We do a lot of short-run, high-mix production, so you’ll be doing real programming and setup work daily — not just pushing buttons.
