CNC Machinist Role

The CNC Machinist sets up, programs, and operates large-scale vertical turret lathes and horizontal boring mills to manufacture complex, tight-tolerance fabrications for heavy industry. This role exists to maintain exacting quality standards, optimize low-volume production runs, and support shop-floor development across critical manufacturing operations.

CNC Machinist Responsibilities

• Review engineering prints and technical specifications to select and acquire appropriate tooling
  
• Set up, adjust, and operate large CNC machining centers, specifically horizontal boring mills (HBM) and vertical turret lathes (VTL)
  
• Edit, optimize, and maintain CNC programs using G-code to ensure efficient and accurate machining cycles
  
• Inspect and measure machined components using precision hand gages and coordinate measuring machines (CMM) to verify GD&T compliance
  
• Rig and transfer large, heavy fabrications safely using overhead cranes
  
• Identify and implement continuous improvement opportunities across tooling, setup times, and machining practices
  
• Mentor and train less experienced machinists in setup techniques, blueprint interpretation, and machine operation
  

CNC Machinist Reporting Relationships

This position reports directly to the Machine Shop Supervisor and has no direct reports, but serves as an informal technical mentor to junior team members.

About You

• Bring 3 years of hands-on experience in component CNC machining within a low-volume, high-mix manufacturing environment
  
• Demonstrate proficiency running large CNC machines such as vertical turret lathes (VTL) or horizontal boring mills (HBM)
  
• Read and interpret complex engineering blueprints, technical drawings, and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T)
  
• Apply proven experience in CNC G-code programming, Siemens machine controls, and AutoCAD
  
• Utilize advanced inspection methods, including hand measuring instruments and CMM equipment, to validate close tolerances
  
• Possess practical rigging experience and safe overhead crane operating capabilities for heavy material handling
  
• Show a track record of developing the craft and technical skills of fellow machining team members
  
• Use standard computer applications effectively for production reporting and internal email communications
