CNC Lathe & Mill Programmer-Machinist (Precision Components)

Picture your first-shift morning in a clean, organized shop in Kansas City, KS. You grab the work order, review the blueprint, and map out your plan. You select the right cutting tools and fixtures, program a conversational CNC lathe, and prep a mill for the next setup. A quick first-article check with calipers and micrometers confirms you’re in tolerance. When a dimension drifts, you fine-tune offsets and tweak G/M codes to keep production humming—on time, within spec, and to the highest quality standard.

This is a direct-hire role through Integrity Trade Services for a manufacturing client. Compensation is $30–$35 per hour DOE, with overtime as needed. Comprehensive benefits are available through the client upon hire, and ITS provides weekly pay.
