What is a CNC machine tech?

CNC Machine Techs, or Computer Numerical Control Machine Technicians, are skilled professionals who set up, operate, and maintain CNC machines used in manufacturing. They interpret blueprints, load materials, monitor machine performance, and make adjustments to ensure precision and quality. Additionally, they perform routine maintenance and troubleshoot issues to keep production running smoothly. Their expertise is vital in industries like automotive, aerospace, and metalworking, where accurate machining is essential.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a CNC machine tech?

To thrive as a CNC Machine Tech, you need strong mechanical aptitude, blueprint reading skills, and experience with precision measuring tools, often supported by vocational training or certifications in CNC machining. Familiarity with CNC programming languages (such as G-code), CAD/CAM software, and machine maintenance systems is typically required. Attention to detail, problem-solving abilities, and strong communication skills are crucial soft skills for ensuring quality and safety. These competencies are essential for producing precise parts, minimizing errors, and maintaining efficient manufacturing processes.

What are some common challenges CNC machine techs face when troubleshooting equipment issues?

CNC Machine Technicians often encounter challenges such as diagnosing complex mechanical or electronic malfunctions, interpreting error codes, and efficiently minimizing machine downtime. Staying updated with evolving machine software and understanding different types of CNC controls are also frequent hurdles. Collaboration with engineers or operators is key, especially when troubleshooting issues that impact production schedules. Effective communication and a methodical approach are essential for resolving problems quickly and keeping operations running smoothly.

Description

CNC MACHINE OPERATORS - COME GROW WITH US!


Build Your Skills.  Build Your Career.  Build What's Next.


Chandler Industries is growing, and we're looking for CNC Operators to join our team in Blaine, Minnesota!

If you have machining experience and are looking for more than just your next job, this could be the opportunity for you. At Chandler, we want people who are ready to learn, take on new challenges, and grow their careers in CNC machining.


Why Chandler?

You'll have the opportunity to:

  • Grow your CNC career - develop your skills and take on increasing levels of responsibility as you gain experience.
  • Learn advanced machining technology and build valuable technical skills.
  • Work with new full 5-Axis Matsuura machining centers producing complex, high-precision parts.
  • Gain exposure to automation, robotics, pallet systems, and advanced manufacturing technology.
  • Develop your skills in blueprint reading, inspection, tooling, offsets, machine operation, and troubleshooting.
  • Work alongside experienced machinists and manufacturing professionals who can help you continue to learn.
  • Be part of a growing company where strong performers have opportunities to advance.

Our CNC Operators operate and monitor CNC equipment, load and unload parts, perform quality inspections, make basic machine adjustments, replace tooling, and help keep equipment running safely and efficiently.


We're Looking for People Who Want to Grow

Now Hiring: 2nd & 3rd Shift

Our off-shift opportunities are a great way to earn additional shift differential while building your CNC skills and career.


Your Next Step in CNC Machining Starts Here


Whether you're an experienced CNC Operator or earlier in your machining career and ready to take the next step, we want to hear from you.


Join a growing precision manufacturing company. Learn new technology. Expand your skills. And create a career path you can build on.


Pay Range Details

Compensation is determined based on a variety of factors related to the specific position. These may include skills, relevant experience, education, internal equity, business needs, and local market conditions. While the full range is shared for transparency, offers are rarely made at the minimum or maximum of the range.


Company Benefits

Chandler offers a comprehensive benefits package to eligible employees and their dependents. This includes medical, dental, and vision coverage; life insurance; short- and long-term disability; a 401(k) plan with company match; and a range of supplemental benefit options.
