Computer Numerical Control Machinist

About the role

This position is responsible for setting up and operating CNC and manual machining equipment to manufacture, repair, and modify precision components used in millwright, agricultural, construction, fabrication, and equipment applications.

This hands-on position is well suited for an experienced machinist who can work from engineering drawings and specifications, determine appropriate machining processes and setups, and independently produce accurate, high-quality parts.

Responsibilities

• Set up and operate CNC mills, CNC lathes, manual lathes, drill presses, shears, and other machine shop equipment to manufacture and repair components.
• Produce custom and precision-machined parts for millwright projects, agricultural equipment, concrete mixer trucks, fabrication projects, and other industrial applications.
• Read and interpret engineering drawings, CAD drawings, blueprints, dimensions, tolerances, and specifications to determine machining requirements.
• Machine components to required specifications and tolerances, including parts requiring tolerances as close as ±.005 inch.
• Determine machine setups, tooling, fixtures, speeds, feeds, and machining sequences for assigned work.
• Set and adjust tooling, work offsets, and machine settings to achieve required dimensions and finishes.
• Use calipers, micrometers, gauges, and other precision measuring instruments to inspect work and verify dimensional accuracy.
• Perform first-piece and in-process inspections and make necessary machine or tooling adjustments.
• Troubleshoot machining, tooling, setup, and dimensional issues as they arise.
• Work with fabrication, millwright, and project teams to manufacture new components and repair or modify existing equipment and parts.
• Perform routine inspection and basic maintenance of machining equipment and report needed repairs.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe machine shop and follow established safety procedures.
• Manage multiple machining projects and work...
