How much do computer numerical control operator jobs pay per hour?

As of May 31, 2026, the average hourly pay for computer numerical control operator in Arizona is $22.72, according to ZipRecruiter salary data. Most workers in this role earn between $17.69 and $25.53 per hour, depending on experience, location, and employer.

What is the difference between Computer Numerical Control Operator vs Machinist?

AspectComputer Numerical Control OperatorMachinist
CredentialsHigh school diploma, CNC certificationHigh school diploma, technical training or apprenticeship
Work EnvironmentManufacturing plants, machine shopsMachine shops, manufacturing facilities
Job FocusSet up, operate, monitor CNC machinesDesign, measure, and manually operate machines
Industry UsageCommon in automated manufacturingTraditional machining and manual operations

While both roles work within manufacturing environments, a Computer Numerical Control Operator primarily programs and monitors CNC machines, focusing on automation. A Machinist often manually operates and maintains machines, with a broader focus on precision machining. Both roles require technical skills, but CNC Operators typically need specific certification in CNC programming and operation.

Job description

Salary: $25-$29 DOE

An "NAP Operator" (Numerical Automatic Programmer) is a role focused on CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machine operation and programming. In Arizona's fabrication industry, this position bridges the gap between mechanical engineering drawings and the physical machining of raw materials, specifically for metal, pipe, or sheet metal parts.


Core Responsibilities

  • MachineSetup & Operation: Calibrate and safely operate heavy fabrication machinery like CNC press brakes, lasers, and waterjets.
  • Programming & Editing: Input and adjust CNC data, select appropriate tooling, and translate blueprints or mechanical engineering drawings into usable machine programs.
  • Quality Control: Measure and inspect finished parts using calipers, micrometers, and tape measures to ensure they meet strict dimensional tolerances.
  • Maintenance & Safety: Perform routine operator-level machine maintenance, troubleshoot minor equipment issues, and adhere strictly to all OSHA-compliant safety standards.


Key Qualifications

  • Experience: Typically requires 1 to 3 years of hands-on experience in a metalworking or manufacturing environment.
  • Math & Blueprint Reading: Strong shop math skills (fractions, decimals) and the ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings.
  • Physical Requirements: Must be able to lift up to 5070 pounds, stand for long periods, and comfortably work in non-climate-controlled environments typical of Arizona summers.
