CNC MACHINISTS AND CNC MACHINE OPERATORS – FIRST AND SECOND SHIFTS

Do you enjoy working with your hands?  Do you take pride in “making stuff”?  Do you want to be challenged in your work, be part of a team that makes a difference, and feel valued as an employee?  If so, then consider joining our team!

Successful machine shop seeking CNC Machinists and CNC Machine Operators to run milling machines and/or lathes for first and second shifts.  CNC Machinist candidates should have considerable machining experience and the ability to set up and run jobs independently (after being trained on shop-specific jobs and equipment).  CNC Machine Operator candidates should have general machining knowledge, at least a year of experience.

Responsibilities:

For CNC Machine Operators:

  • The ability to run machines and assist with other shop responsibilities (tumbling, assembling, etc.), as well as an interest in learning more about the trade.

For CNC Machinists:

  • Independently (or with minimal supervision) set up machines
  • Independently operate and monitor machines (vertical milling, horizontal milling and multi-task lathes) during operations with minimal to no supervision (Mazak equipment)

  • Interpret drawings, blueprints and specifications of parts

  • Inspect work with measuring equipment to ensure parts meet close tolerances

  • Program (Mazak) CNC machines (including creating, proving and editing programs; creating macros as necessary)

  • Adjust machines, controls, tooling and programming as necessary to ensure quality of production

Qualifications:

For CNC Machine Operators, a minimum of one year of experience.

For CNC Machinists, a minimum of five years of experience programming CNC machines (milling, horizontal milling and multi-tasking lathes – Mazak machines a plus), and the following:

  • Ability to use precise measuring and inspection equipment to hold close tolerances
  • Knowledge of tool holders, cutting tools, boring bars, fixtures, inserts and other machine accessories
  • Understanding of machining principles, metal properties, and speeds and feeds
  • Ability to read blueprints and drawings

Physical Requirements:

The physical demands described here are representative of those that must be met by an employee to successfully perform the essential functions of this job. Standing, sitting stooping and squatting can be expected along with lifting or with other means transfer of tooling parts, containers and raw materials. Specific vision abilities required include close vision, peripheral and depth perception as well as the ability to focus.

Company Information:

The shop is small but robust, and a family environment, located in North Brunswick, NJ. The work is sophisticated, close-tolerance and fast-paced. We are looking for someone who will take pride in his or her work, be proactive and willing to learn, and fit into our team on both a personal and professional level. The pay is competitive, and will depend on level of experience and skills of the candidate. Benefits include subsidized health insurance, paid time off and others. If interested, please include your resume, salary requirements and anything else you think we should know in the application.

THIS POSITION REQUIRES EXTENSIVE SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE. PLEASE DO NOT APPLY TO THIS JOB IF YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY MACHINING EXPERIENCE.

Principals only. No third-party submissions or referrals. Recruiters, please do not apply to this job posting. All submissions and applications received are the property of the employer.

Company Description

There are many companies that you can work for, but not many companies that work for you. We are a small company, but we are big in mission. The shop is busy with sophisticated work. We need people who want to work hard, learn a lot, contribute to a bigger cause, and be part of a successful team. If you're interested in machining, please reach out to us to learn more.
