We are seeking a skilled CNC Milling Operator to join a stable, growing precision manufacturing operation. This role is ideal for someone with strong hands-on CNC milling experience who can run established jobs independently, make controlled offset adjustments, inspect parts accurately, and support production quality on the floor.

CNC Milling Operator | What You Will Do
• Operate 3-axis, 4-axis, 4-axis horizontal, and 5-axis CNC milling machines on established jobs
• Perform wear offset adjustments and tooling changes within approved procedures
• Identify, replace, and document worn or broken tooling
• Inspect parts using calipers, micrometers, go/no-go gauges, and other precision measurement tools
• Assist setup machinists with fixture installation, tool loading, part proving, and first-piece preparation
• Troubleshoot tool wear, surface finish, chatter, burrs, chip evacuation, and dimensional variation issues
• Record job data, labor time, part counts, lot control, and quality information in the ERP system
• Support and train less experienced CNC operators on standard operating practices and inspection methods
CNC Milling Operator III | What You Bring
• Minimum of 3 years of precision CNC milling experience
• Experience operating across multiple axis configurations preferred
• Strong blueprint reading ability
• Working knowledge of GD&T interpretation
• Proficiency with precision measurement tools including calipers, micrometers, and go/no-go gauges
• Ability to make controlled offset adjustments and perform tooling changes accurately
• Strong communication skills with operators, machinists, quality personnel, and supervision
• Must be legally authorized to work in the United States
• Must be able to comply with U.S. export control regulations without employer-sponsored authorization
This is a strong fit for a CNC Milling Operator who takes pride in precision work, wants exposure to complex machining, and is looking for a stable long-term opportunity with room to continue growing technically.
