CNC Machinist

Overview

Our client is a high-precision machining and contract manufacturing operation serving mission-critical industries where accuracy, consistency, and craftsmanship matter. This is an opportunity to join a disciplined, high-performance manufacturing environment focused on ultra-tight tolerances, continuous improvement, and technical excellence.

This is not a button-pushing role. Machinists here are trusted professionals who take ownership of quality and precision.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform CNC machining operations on lathes, grinders, and/or Swiss machines

• Set up jobs independently (typically limited setups, not constant changeovers)

• Make G & M code edits as required

• Read and interpret detailed, high-precision blueprints

• Perform dimensional inspections using micrometers, calipers, indicators, and other measuring tools

• Maintain extremely tight tolerances and strict quality standards

• Work in a clean, climate-controlled, high-accountability production environment

• Communicate effectively with leadership and peers; ask questions and proactively problem-solve

What This Role Does Not Require

• No CNC programming responsibilities

• No complex daily multi-setup changes

• No expectation to manage machine controls beyond necessary edits

Required Experience & Skills

• Minimum of 3 years of hands-on experience in one or more of the following:

  • CNC Lathe

  • Grinding

  • Swiss machining (highly valued)

• Strong inspection and measurement skills

• Proven ability to hold very tight tolerances

• Solid blueprint reading and interpretation skills

• Strong mechanical aptitude and attention to detail

• High sense of accountability and pride in workmanship

Preferred Background

• Aerospace or other precision machining environments

• Shops focused on tight-tolerance, highly engineered components

Work Environment

• Modern, state-of-the-art equipment

• Spotless, climate-controlled production floor

• Culture of craftsmanship, discipline, and continuous improvement

• High-performance team environment — those who care deeply about quality thrive

Interview Process

• Single-step interview process

• Includes a brief technical evaluation:

  • Basic math problems

  • Blueprint reading questions

  • Hands-on measurement exercise

• Emphasis on candidate engagement and questions

Why This Opportunity

• Work on challenging, aerospace-grade or precision components

• Grow technical skills in a world-class manufacturing environment

• Be part of a growing operation that invests in people and technology

• Join a team where craftsmanship and accountability are valued
