Job description

Are you an experienced CNC Programmer who enjoys taking a project from print to finished part? We are hiring a CNC Programmer for a direct-hire opportunity with an established manufacturing operation in Elgin, IL.

  • $79k-$84k annually, based on experience
  • Day shift, Monday–Friday — 6:00 AM to 4:00 PM
  • Hands-on position working with short-run and prototype projects, offering variety beyond repetitive production work

Must Haves

  • 5+ years of CNC machining experience with strong hands-on setup and operating knowledge
  • Experience programming CNC equipment using Mastercam and G-code
  • Ability to read and interpret blueprints, engineering drawings, specifications, and weld symbols
  • Experience with machining processes including milling, turning, and drilling
  • Strong knowledge of precision measurement tools, including height gauges and calipers


What You’ll Be Doing

  • Program, set up, and operate CNC machines for precision, short-run, and prototype machining projects
  • Develop CNC programs, select tooling and fixtures, and determine the appropriate machining approach for each job
  • Read engineering drawings and specifications to produce parts accurately and efficiently
  • Inspect completed parts, monitor machine performance, make adjustments, and troubleshoot programming or machining issues
  • Work closely with production team members and welders, including designing and manufacturing custom fixtures when projects require them


Nice to Haves

  • Strong proficiency with CAD/CAM software
  • Knowledge of lean manufacturing principles and practices
  • Experience designing or fabricating custom fixtures for unique machining projects
  • Mechanically inclined, self-motivated, and comfortable managing multiple projects in a fast-paced manufacturing environment


Ready for a CNC Programmer position where you can use the full range of your machining skills instead of simply running the same parts every day? Apply today for immediate consideration.
