Who We Are

A local manufacturing company is looking to add an experienced CNC Water Jet Operator to their growing team. This is a dynamic job shop environment where precision, adaptability, and craftsmanship are key.

What You’ll Do

This is not a traditional, repetitive production role. Our client operates as a job shop, so workloads and part requirements can vary daily. You’ll primarily work with thinner gauge metals and focus on precision cutting rather than structural fabrication.

  • Set up and operate CNC Water Jet equipment
  • Read and interpret blueprints and job specifications
  • Monitor machine performance and adjust as needed to maintain tolerances
  • Perform quality checks on finished parts
  • Assist with material handling and basic shop duties
  • Maintain a clean and safe work environment

  • Flow 6' x 13' Five-Axis Dual Head Water Jet (Tolerance ± .005")
  • Flow 6' x 12' Three-Axis Dual Head Water Jet
  • Ingersoll-Rand 72" x 192" Water Jet Table

Capable of cutting materials from 1/16" up to 10" thick with tolerances typically between ± .010"-.015", depending on material and part requirements. What’s in It for You

  • Join a team that takes pride in precision and quality workmanship
  • Growth opportunities within the organization
  • Competitive pay based on experience
  • Stable Monday-Friday schedule

What You Need to Have The Musts:

  • 1-2 years of CNC Water Jet or Laser experience
  • Positive attitude and strong work ethic
  • Experience using various hand tools
  • Mechanically inclined
  • Computer literate
  • Ability to lift up to 50 lbs
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced environment

Preferred:
