Job Summary We are seeking a highly skilled CNC Operator to join our manufacturing team. The successful candidate will be responsible for setting up, programming, operating, and maintaining various CNC machinery to produce precision parts and components. This role is vital in ensuring high-quality production standards, efficient workflow, and adherence to safety protocols. The ideal applicant will possess strong mechanical aptitude, proficiency in CNC programming and machine operation, and experience working within a manufacturing environment. Duties Operate and monitor CNC machines such as CNC milling machines, lathes, and machining centers to produce parts according to specifications. Read and interpret technical blueprints, CAD drawings, GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing), and manufacturing instructions. Program CNC equipment using CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing) software and adjust parameters for optimal performance. Set up machines with appropriate tooling, fixtures, and materials handling equipment including forklifts when necessary. Conduct routine inspections using precision measuring instruments such as calipers, micrometers, and other quality control tools to ensure parts meet quality standards. Perform basic maintenance on CNC machinery and troubleshoot issues related to Fanuc controls or programmable logic controllers (PLCs). Collaborate with the fabrication team on tooling selection, setup procedures, and process improvements. Maintain accurate documentation of production runs, machine settings, and inspection results. Support assembly line operations by providing machined components for further fabrication or packaging processes. Follow safety guidelines diligently while handling materials, hand tools, and heavy machinery like stamping presses or press brake machines. Qualifications Proven experience operating CNC equipment including CNC milling machines, CNC lathes, or similar machinery within a manufacturing facility. Strong knowledge of CNC programming languages such as G-code; experience with Fanuc controls is highly desirable. Familiarity with CAD software such as SolidWorks for interpreting drawings; experience with CAM programming is advantageous. Ability to read blueprints accurately and apply GD&T principles effectively. Mechanical knowledge of tooling setups, fabrication processes, and materials handling techniques. Proficiency with precision measuring instruments including calipers, micrometers, and dial indicators. Basic math skills necessary for measurements, calculations, and quality assessments. Hands-on experience with factory safety procedures and factory equipment like forklifts or welding tools. Good communication skills to work collaboratively across teams in a fast-paced environment. Prior warehouse or manufacturing experience preferred but not mandatory; training will be provided for the right candidate. Join our team as a CNC Operator to contribute to high-quality manufacturing processes that drive innovation. Your expertise will ensure precision production while supporting continuous improvement initiatives across our facility. #HUNT123
