Picture this:
a complex, multi-face part needs weekend coverage. Tooling must be chosen, fixtures updated, a program pulled and lightly edited, and the first-article verified—fast. If that challenge excites you, read on. We're Hiring for Two Weekend Roles Horizontal Mill III — Weekend Shift Vertical Mill II —
Weekend Shift Weekend Hours Friday:
12:30 pm - 1:00 am
Saturday & Sunday:
11:30 am - 12:00 am Your Mission Own the machining process end-to-end with limited direction. From setup to operation, you'll ensure parts meet customer specs while continuously dialing in efficiency. How You'll Win Set up and run CNC milling centers, installing tooling, refreshing fixtures, and retrieving programs; make minor adjustments as needed. Handle rotary/indexing for 3-5 axis work confidently. Validate feeds and speeds, then optimize to reduce cycle time and variation. Measure parts to print with proper gauges; record findings and deburr as you go. Document everything—program updates, setup notes, and photos—for repeatability. Use the Shop Floor Control System to sequence work; clock operations by work-order step. Perform light preventive maintenance; keep the area neat, safe, and audit-ready. Be the teammate peers rely on; communicate professionally across departments. Prepare operators before release to production; mentor new hires and apprentices. Team up to troubleshoot issues and conduct quality checks on output. Hit agreed goals on schedule and contribute ideas to the department's strategic plan. Operate within
ISO 9001
2008 and
ISO 13485
2003 requirements; comply with OSHA and all PPE standards. What You Need to Bring About 5 years of hands-on CNC milling experience with proven setup/operation ability. Vocational training enrollment/completion or a four-year formal apprenticeship preferred. Strong blueprint reading with GD&T; deep familiarity with standard inspection practices. Knowledge of CNC programming with G & M code; capable of light edits and offsets. Basic-intermediate tool probe use. Attention to detail, ownership mindset, and collaborative working style. If you're ready to take responsibility for process, precision, and pace every weekend, we'd like to meet you.
