  • Perform intermediate part inspection using calipers, micrometers, go/no-go gauges, and other precision measurement tools
  • Make basic wear offset adjustments and perform routine tooling changes per documented procedures
  • Follow work instructions, inspection plans, and traveler requirements on every job
  • Identify and escalate tool issues, machine alarms, process variation, and part defects before nonconforming parts are produced
  • Record job data, part counts, lot control, labor time, and required production documentation accurately
  • Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work area while supporting production efficiency and quality standards

CNC Milling Operator II | What You Bring

  • 1 to 3 years of precision CNC milling experience in a production manufacturing environment
  • Intermediate blueprint reading ability with basic GD&T interpretation
  • Proficiency with precision measurement tools and inspection methods
  • Ability to recognize tool wear, poor surface finish, chatter, burrs, and dimensional drift
  • Strong communication skills with setup machinists, leads, quality personnel, and supervision
  • Ability to follow documented procedures, inspection plans, and production requirements with accuracy and consistency
  • Must be legally authorized to work in the United States without current or future employer-sponsored authorization

This is a strong fit for a CNC Milling Operator who takes pride in precision work, wants exposure to complex machining, and is looking for a stable long-term opportunity with room to continue growing technically.
