CNC Machinist II – 2nd Shift

Description

Are you an experienced CNC Machinist ready for a role where you can put your skills to work—not just push a button? A&K Railroad Materials is looking for a CNC Machinist II to join our growing Kansas City, KS manufacturing team.

What You'll Do

• Set up and operate 3-axis and 5-axis CNC machines to manufacture precision rail components
• Read and interpret blueprints, G-code, work orders, and machine specifications
• Perform measurements and inspections using calipers, tape measures, and other measuring tools
• Make machine adjustments and troubleshoot machining issues to maintain quality and production
