Lead CNC Operator / Woodworker (Wood & Metal)
Location: N. Preston St., Philadelphia, PA 19104
Job Type:Full-Time
Shift: B Shift (2PM-10:30PM)
We are looking for a skilled and dependable Lead CNC Operator/Woodworker to join our team and work a temporary B Shift (2PM-10:30PM) assignment. This role blends hands-on CNC operation and woodworking production with team leadership and cross-departmental support in our metal shop. The ideal candidate brings solid experience in wood fabrication, strong CNC programming skills, and confidence stepping into a metal shop environment - all while leading a small crew toward quality results on time.

  • Perform routine maintenance including lubrication, inspections, and troubleshooting.

Woodworking & Fabrication
  • Perform woodworking tasks including cutting, shaping, sanding, and assembling wood components.
  • Operate hand tools and power tools (routers, jointers, planers, table saws, miter saws) safely and effectively.
  • Prepare surfaces for finishing by removing imperfections and ensuring proper adhesion of coatings.
  • Read and interpret blueprints and shop drawings to meet production specifications.
  • Support general wood assembly and fabrication as production needs require.

Metal Shop Support
  • Assist in the metal department as needed, operating equipment and performing basic fabrication tasks.
  • Apply Gratz quality standards to metal shop production, including inspecting aluminum products for scuffs, dents, and scratches.
  • Distribute work, monitor second shift production, and discuss requirements and priorities with the team.
  • Follow and enforce metal shop safety protocols and PPE requirements.

Shift Lead Responsibilities
  • Provide leadership and day-to-day guidance for the second shift crew across both woodshop and metal shop.
  • Assign tasks, monitor workflow, and keep production moving toward shift goals.
  • Serve as the first point of contact for questions, troubleshooting, and issues on the floor.
  • Communicate shift progress and handoff notes to management.
  • Lead by example on safety, quality standards, and professionalism.

Quality Control
  • Examine materials for defects and verify conformity to size and specification.
  • Conduct quality checks on finished products to ensure they meet company and customer standards.
  • Identify, flag, and address defects before products move forward.

Maintenance & Safety
  • Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work area throughout the shift.
  • Follow all safety protocols for both woodshop and metal shop environments.
  • Perform routine tool and equipment maintenance to ensure optimal performance.

Qualifications
CNC Experience (Required)
  • Solid hands-on experience programming and operating CNC machines - this is the core of the role.
  • CNC background may come from a woodworking or metal shop environment; metal shop CNC experience is especially valued given the cross-departmental nature of this position.
  • Ability to read and interpret technical drawings, blueprints, and basic CAD/CAM files.
  • Comfortable running test cuts, making program adjustments, and troubleshooting machine issues independently.

Woodworking & Fabrication (Required)
  • 3-4 years of experience in woodworking, wood fabrication, or a closely related manufacturing role.
  • Proficiency with woodworking tools: routers, jointers, planers, table saws, sanders, and miter saws.
  • Experience with surface preparation, finishing, and wood assembly.

Leadership (Required)
  • 1-2 years of formal lead experience in a CNC or manufacturing environment - meaning you've led a small crew, assigned work, and been accountable for shift output.
  • Able to work alongside other floor leads and department supervisors to coordinate workflow and keep second shift running smoothly.
  • Strong communication skills; able to give clear direction, flag issues to management, and keep a team on track.

Metal Shop (Plus)
  • Some experience in a metal shop environment is a plus - familiarity with metal fabrication equipment, processes, and quality standards.
  • Prior CNC experience from a metal background count toward the CNC requirement above and is especially valued here.

General
  • Strong attention to detail with the ability to meet quality standards consistently.
  • Comfortable with lifting and handling heavy materials.
  • High school diploma or equivalent; vocational or technical training in manufacturing, a plus.

Working Conditions
  • B Shift hours: 2:00 PM - 10:30 PM.

  • Work takes place across both the woodshop and metal shop environments.
  • Personal protective equipment (PPE) will be provided and must be worn as required.
