BUILDER WANTED. CNC Operator
Not just a CNC Operator. A Builder.
You turn precise measurements and detailed designs into woodwork people see and use every day. From setting up CNC equipment to inspecting finished pieces, you know that craftsmanship depends on accuracy, care, and attention to every cut. You take pride in keeping machines running well and producing work that meets the highest standards.
At Stanton Millworks, we’re looking for a CNC Operator who brings woodworking know-how, technical skill, and a commitment to quality to every project.
A Legacy of Building Careers
Stanton Millworks is a premier cabinetmaking and architectural woodworking shop in the Tri-state area, with more than 80 years of growth built on repeat and referral business. We believe great work starts with people who share a commitment to craftsmanship, teamwork, and strong relationships.
We know our team members have families, interests, and lives beyond work. That’s why we value working hard and working smart, celebrating shared successes, and making a positive impact on our clients and community. Our full-time positions offer generous PTO, excellent salaries, and a collaborative environment where your voice matters.
What You’ll Build
What You Bring
We’re looking for someone who sees more than machine settings and production runs. You understand that every accurate cut, properly maintained tool, and carefully finished part contributes to the quality Stanton Millworks is known for.
We’re not looking for someone to simply operate a machine. We’re looking for someone who takes ownership, solves problems, supports the team, and builds craftsmanship into every piece. If that sounds like you, let’s build something great together.
