Machining Center Role

As a Machine Center Operator, you will produce precision components by running CNC and manual equipment to specification and supporting efficient, repeatable production.

Key responsibilities include CNC machine setup and fixturing; basic G and M code programming as needed; Mastercam programming (preferred); verifying programs, tooling, and fixtures prior to run; partnering with Quality to approve first-piece and start production; evaluating alternate setups and machining methods to improve efficiency; using precision measurement tools (calipers, ID/OD micrometers, depth gauges, indicators, scales); monitoring machine performance for issues such as worn tools; performing preventive maintenance; and inspecting parts to blueprint, GD&T, and quality requirements.

Required skills include CNC machining, manual machining, blueprint reading, GD&T, quality inspection, and precision measurement proficiency. Apply online to be considered.

A Typical Shift

You’ll start your day on the shop floor reviewing the day’s priorities and confirming prints and inspection expectations. After verifying tooling and fixtures, you’ll settle into a steady production rhythm—checking dimensions at planned intervals, documenting results, and making small, controlled adjustments to keep parts within tolerance. Throughout the shift, you’ll coordinate quick check-ins with Quality for approvals and communicate status updates to keep work moving. As jobs change over, you’ll transition smoothly between tasks, keeping the area organized and equipment ready for the next run. Occasional overtime supports customer deadlines when demand increases.

Benefits Package
