- Operate and troubleshoot complex 3, 4 and 5-axis CNC machining centres
- Ensure quality standards are met while maintaining extremely tight tolerances (±0.0005")
- Support continuous improvement, workflow organization and shop efficiency
- Work closely with engineering and production to meet customer deadlines
- Mentor junior machinists and provide technical guidance when required
Equipment You'll Work With
- DMG 5-Axis Machining Centres
- Haas CNC Mills
- CNC Lathe
- Mastercam (2026)
- Hypermill
What We're Looking For
- Several years of CNC machining experience in a custom machining or job shop environment
- Previous leadership, lead hand or supervisory experience
- Strong Mastercam programming skills
- Experience creating programs from scratch
- Advanced setup experience on multi-axis machining centres
- Excellent understanding of G-Code, tooling, fixtures and machining strategies
- Ability to read complex engineering drawings and hold extremely tight tolerances
- Someone who enjoys leading a team while remaining hands-on in production
Compensation & Benefits
- $40.00-$45.00 per hour
- Performance-based bonus program
- Day Shift: Monday-Friday, 6:00 AM-3:00 PM
- Overtime available
- 3 weeks vacation (negotiable to 4 weeks for the right candidate)
- Annual health benefit allowance available
If you're looking for an opportunity where your machining expertise and leadership skills will directly influence the success of a high-performing precision shop, we'd love to hear from you.
