Computer Numerical Control Machinist

We are partnering with a growing, high-mix job shop that is ramping up production and adding multiple CNC Machinist/Programmers (Mill & Lathe) to their team. This is a hands-on role where you will take parts from concept to completion including reading blueprints, programming, setting up, and machining independently.

This shop specializes in large-format components and one-off/custom work, offering a dynamic environment with minimal production repetition and strong long-term growth.

Key Responsibilities

• Program, set up, and operate CNC mills and/or lathes
• Create and edit programs using Fusion 360 and/or Mastercam
• Interpret prints, models, and work instructions to machine parts accurately
• Set tooling, work offsets, and optimize programs for efficiency
• Run parts from cradle-to-grave (program → setup → completion)
• Work with a variety of materials including steel, aluminum, and stainless
• Perform basic inspection and ensure quality standards are met
• Collaborate with team members in a fast-paced job shop environment

Required Qualifications

• 2 years of CNC machining experience (mill or lathe)
• Hands-on programming experience (Fusion 360 and/or Mastercam)
• Experience with Fanuc controls
• Ability to read and interpret blueprints and part drawings
• Strong understanding of setups, tooling, and machining processes
• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
• Familiarity with GD&T (not required, but a plus)

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience machining large parts or heavy materials
• Exposure to high-mix / low-volume job shop environments
• Overhead crane experience (or willingness to be trained)
• Manual machining experience (helpful, but not required)

Compensation Breakdown

• $28–$30/hr: Entry-level programming experience, some training needed
• $30–$35/hr: Solid machinist/programmer with moderate independence
• $36–$38/hr: Highly experienced, can hit the ground running with little to no training

Work Environment

• Large-scale machining equipment (not small-part production)
• Team-oriented shop with collaborative programming workflows
• Opportunity to specialize on specific machines over time
• Stable pipeline of incoming work with long-term growth
