Job Description

CNC Machine Operator

1st Shift | 7:00am – 3:30pm
$18–$20/hour
1 Opening
Full-Time | CNC Mills & Lathes

The Opportunity

If you’ve run a CNC machine before and want to build real skills — this is a great place to start.

This role is designed for someone with basic CNC experience who’s ready to learn more and grow into a higher-level machinist role over time.

You won’t be expected to know everything on day one — but you will be given the opportunity to learn inspections, understand your machine, and take on more responsibility as you progress.

The company has been in business for 65+ years, growing from a small shop into a stable, well-established operation.

What You’ll Work On

• CNC Mills (high-volume production)
• CNC Lathes (variety of parts depending on need)

You’ll start by running one machine, with the opportunity to expand as you gain experience.

What You’ll Be Doing

Machine Operation

• Run CNC mills and/or lathes
• Load materials and monitor production cycles
• Keep machines running efficiently throughout your shift

Learning & Skill Development

• Learn how to perform basic inspections
• Gain experience using measuring tools (micrometers, calipers, gauges)
• Develop understanding of tooling and machine performance

Daily Responsibilities

• Maintain part quality and consistency
• Keep your work area clean and organized
• Communicate with leads when issues arise

What We’re Looking For

• Experience operating a CNC machine (mills or lathes)
• Willingness to learn and grow
• Strong attention to detail
• Reliable attendance and work ethic

This is a great opportunity for someone early in their CNC career.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Strong entry point into a long-term CNC career path
• Hands-on training and development
• Opportunity to move into higher-paying machinist roles
• Stable company with 65+ years of consistent growth
• Supportive team environment on 1st shift

Schedule & Overtime

• 1st Shift: 7:00am – 3:30pm
• Overtime is voluntary
• Optional Saturdays available

Compensation & Benefits

• $18–$20/hour
• Benefits start 1st of the month after hire
• 8 paid holidays + 3 floating holidays
• 80 hours PTO annually (accrued)

Additional Perks

• Quarterly Chip Bonus
• Annual reviews with merit increases
• Pay increases tied to skill growth

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking to get your foot in the door, build your CNC skills, and grow into a higher-level machinist, this is a strong place to start.
