CNC Machinist/Programmer

Overview

This role is hands‐on and suited for a machinist, millwright or tool and die maker who enjoys variety — moving confidently between CNC programming, manual machining, on‐site assembly, and complex tooling work. We value energetic professionals eager to learn, grow, and make a tangible impact through manufacturing mastery. We are willing to train to fill in any knowledge gaps.

Key Responsibilities

CNC Machining

• Set up, program, and operate CNC mills and lathes for high‐accuracy components.
• Read and interpret technical drawings, CAD models, and machining instructions.
• Optimize toolpaths, feeds, and speeds for efficiency and surface finish.
• Perform in‐process inspections to maintain tight tolerances.

Manual Machining

• Operate manual lathes, mills, grinders, and drill presses for one‐off parts, repairs, and custom modifications.
• Fabricate components that require hands‐on precision or rapid turnaround.
• Fit, deburr, and finish parts to exact specifications.

Machine Building (On‐Site)

• Assemble mechanical systems, frames, tooling, and custom machinery at customer locations or in‐shop.
• Install machined components, align assemblies, and verify mechanical function.
• Work with maintenance teams and engineers to troubleshoot and resolve mechanical issues.
• Perform on‐site adjustments, machining, or modifications as required.

Mould Making

• Manufacture mould bases, inserts, cores, cavities, and precision tooling components.
• Work with plastics, aluminum, and tool steels for injection moulding applications.
• Assist with mould repairs, refurbishing, and fit‐up.
• Ensure all mould components meet dimensional, surface, and functional requirements.

Skills

• Strong mechanical knowledge with experience in machining processes including CNC programming and operation
• Proficiency with Fanuc controls for CNC machines
• Skilled in reading blueprints, technical drawings, CAD files, and SolidWorks/Fusion 360 models for accurate part production
• Familiarity with measuring tools such as calipers and micrometers for quality control checks
• Basic math skills essential for calculating dimensions, feeds, speeds, and tolerances
• Knowledge of welding techniques and assembly processes is a plus
• Ability to use hand tools, power tools, and welding equipment safely and effectively
• Experience with forklift and crane operation preferred but not required; certification is a plus
• Understanding of lean manufacturing principles to promote continuous improvement in production workflows

What This Role Offers

• Diverse, hands‐on work across machining, tooling, and machine building.
• Opportunities to work on custom projects and specialized equipment.
• A role where craftsmanship, precision, and mechanical creativity are valued.
• Flexible hours
• Opportunity for career development
