Build Your Skills. Build Something Great.

Great Lakes Stainless is looking for a dependable, mechanically inclined CNC Machine Operator to join our manufacturing team. This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys working with machinery, pays attention to detail, and wants to develop valuable manufacturing skills.

What You'll Do

  • Set up and safely operate CNC equipment to cut metal sheet and raw materials.
  • Select and load the correct material for each job.

  • Monitor tooling and supplies and communicate needs to your supervisor.
  • Help unload and organize incoming materials.
  • Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work area.
  • Follow all safety and quality procedures.

What We're Looking For

  • Dependable, safety-minded, and detail-oriented.
  • Able to follow written and verbal instructions.
  • Able to read basic blueprints and use measuring tools.
  • Comfortable using hand and power tools.
  • Willing to learn and take on new responsibilities.
  • Works well independently and as part of a team.

0–2 years of CNC, manufacturing, machining, or fabrication experience is preferred, but entry-level candidates are welcome. Training may be provided. A valid driver's license is preferred.

Physical Requirements

This is an active manufacturing position requiring standing, walking, bending, stooping, climbing, and working in tight areas.
