CNC Mill operator positions open due to expansion of production
Two candidates will be selected for this position.
CNC Mill operators needed to bring up a program and read the job details provided. The job set up should be detailed enough to know which vice, how the part is oriented and which tools (type/size/length) are required. The programmer work with the operator to provide the required documentation. We are a job shop, so the parts and experiences change day to day and week to week.
Operators will be primarily working on tooling for internal use, and as experience level increases new jobs and parts will be added. This is a position with growth opportunities for the operator and the company. Other machining related jobs may be assigned as needs arise.
Areas that will help a potential operator are math skills pertaining to manipulating algebraic equations. Common application is calculation of cutting speeds and their relation to tooling. General knowledge of G-codes and CNC operation is essential, CAD/CAM experience is a bonus. We use SolidWorks for 3D modeling and tool path generation. Experience with a Bridgeport CNC mill is helpful, but not absolutely necessary. CNC equipment will be added, and the operators selected will be involved in the selection process.
While a technical degree is not a requirement, a general understanding of materials and processes, such as an CIM AS degree, would be beneficial but not absolutely required. We do offer tuition reimbursement, for full time employees to attend colleges and tech schools, in fields related to their job or aspirations within the company.
Some on the job training will be provided to familiarize with the roles and duties of day to day operation and maintenance of the equipment.
Health insurance contributions as well as vacation and holiday pay. We have several company events through the year to participate in as well. We are a non-union shop, with many of the same policies that you would find in a union shop. As a small family run company, the owners are expected to perform multiple job duties through the week. We expect our employees to be able to enjoy and value the diversity and flexibility we offer. In the last 32 years we have not had a single layoff. Turnover is very minimal, and we are a tight knit group working towards a common goal.
