Job Full Description
The CNC Machinist is responsible for setting up, operating, and maintaining large horizontal CNC mills. This is not high-volume, fixture-based work — each project is unique and requires careful setup, planning, and execution. The ideal candidate will be experienced with independently figuring out setups, including 3-point setups and ensuring parts are positioned in a relaxed state prior to machining.
Responsibilities:
• Perform all CNC machine operation duties on large horizontal mills.
• Review and interpret engineering drawings, blueprints, and job instructions.
• Program, edit, and adjust CNC programs as needed for job-specific requirements.
• Independently set up workpieces, tooling, and fixtures — including non-fixtured and irregular parts.
• Verify part dimensions using precision measuring instruments such as ID/OD micrometers and calipers.
• Maintain an organized, clean, and safe work environment.
• Perform preventive maintenance and minor troubleshooting on assigned machines.
• Communicate effectively with supervisors, engineers, and other team members to ensure production goals and quality standards are met.
Qualifications:
• Proven experience operating large horizontal CNC mills.
• Ability to independently determine and execute setups without dedicated fixtures.
• Experience with 3-point setups and securing large, heavy parts in a relaxed state.
• Familiarity with Fanuc controls, specifically older 18M and newer 30iB systems.
• Proficient in reading and interpreting technical drawings and machining blueprints.
• Competency in using precision measuring tools (ID/OD micrometers, calipers).
• Strong understanding of machining principles, including speeds, feeds, and material characteristics.
• Basic mechanical troubleshooting skills for CNC machines.
• Must be able to stand for extended periods of time.
• Ability to climb, balance, stoop, walk, and safely navigate around large machinery and shop areas.
• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) must be worn at all times while in the plant and yard.
