Are you someone who takes pride in doing things right the first time? Do you find satisfaction in understanding how things work and making them work better? Join a team where your curiosity, and quality focus make a real impact.

As a CNC Machinist in a precision manufacturing environment, you’ll work hands-on with advanced machinery to produce components that power industries – from aerospace to automation.  This is more than a job – It’s a career built on purpose and long-term stability.

What Is CNC Machining?

CNC stands for Computer Numerical Control. This technology converts designs produced by Computer-Aided Design (CAD) Computer-Aided Manufacture (CAM software into code. This code directs the movement of a CNC machine’s cutter, which tool, what speed and feed and other instructions. 
What Does a CNC Operator Do?

• Reading work instructions

• Loading of Fixtures and Tooling including setting Datums and Tool Offset's

• Loading materials or workpieces into the machine, up to 50 lb.

• Starting and monitoring machine operations to ensure proper performance

• Unloading and inspecting finished parts/workpieces to ensure they meet quality standards and technical specifications
