CNC Operator - 2nd Shift

Victory Tool
Anoka, MN Full Time
POSTED ON 10/1/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 10/30/2026

Victory Tool is looking for an experienced CNC Operator/Setup Machinist to join our 2nd shift team. This is a setup-heavy machining position in a custom tool and die environment. We build one-of-a-kind tooling, so this is not a repetitive production machining job.

This is NOT a "button-pusher" position.

We are looking for someone who can set up, operate, troubleshoot, and make adjustments to CNC machines independently. Our machinists work on a wide variety of jobs and are expected to understand what the machine is doing and why.

You will typically be responsible for running 2–3 CNC machines simultaneously, depending on the work being performed.

What You'll Do
  • Set up and operate CNC machining centers
  • Load tools, set work offsets, and make tool/wear adjustments
  • Prove out and troubleshoot programs
  • Monitor machining operations and make adjustments as needed
  • Inspect your own work using precision measuring equipment
  • Work with a variety of materials and complex tool and die components
  • Run multiple machines efficiently while maintaining quality
  • Communicate with the programming, engineering, and toolroom teams
  • Help identify and resolve machining problems
What We're Looking For
  • CNC machining experience, preferably in tool and die, mold, or other custom machining
  • Strong setup and troubleshooting skills
  • Ability to read and understand mechanical drawings
  • Ability to use precision measuring instruments
  • Ability to work independently and manage multiple machines
  • Attention to detail and pride in producing high-quality work
  • A problem-solving mindset

Fanuc and/or Mazatrol controller experience is a plus.

Experience with both CNC setup and operation is important. 

Training

We are willing to train the right person. If you have strong machining fundamentals, mechanical aptitude, and a willingness to learn, we would like to talk with you.

Why Victory Tool?

Victory Tool is a U.S.-based tool and die manufacturer specializing in complex, custom tooling. Every job is different, and our machinists play an important role in building the tooling that our customers use to manufacture their products.

You won't be making the same part 500 times a day. You'll work on challenging, one-off machining projects where your setup and machining skills matter.

  • 4-day workweek – Monday through Thursday
  • 10-hour shifts – 3:00 PM to 1:30 AM
  • Full-time, stable employment
  • Work in a climate-controlled facility
  • Opportunities to learn and expand your machining skills
  • Work with experienced toolmakers and machinists
  • Competitive pay based on experience
  • Comprehensive benefits
  • 401(k) with company contribution
  • Paid time off
  • Annual performance-based bonus opportunity

If you're a machinist who enjoys setting up machines, solving problems, and making challenging parts—not just pushing Cycle Start—we'd like to meet you.
