Lead the Team. Run the Machines. Make an Impact.
Are you an experienced CNC Machinist who is ready to take the next step in your career?
We are looking for a Weekend CNC Team Lead to help lead our machining team while staying hands-on with CNC production. This is a great opportunity for a skilled machinist who enjoys solving problems, helping others succeed, and taking ownership of the day-to-day operation of a CNC department.
As a Team Lead, you'll work closely with the Department Supervisor to keep production running safely, efficiently, and on schedule. You'll spend approximately 90% of your time machining and the remaining time supporting the team through training, coordinating work, organizing setups, and helping improve department performance.
This is more than a "lead" title-you'll be a hands-on technical resource and role model for the team.

• Set up and operate CNC mills and lathes, including setting tool registers, offsets, work coordinates, and other machine parameters.
• Read and interpret blueprints, work orders, engineering drawings, travelers, specifications, and GD&T.
• Perform CNC setups, including installing and adjusting vises, chucks, collets, tooling, bushings, stops, and other workholding equipment.
• Prove out programs and verify machine settings before production.
• Follow established CNC programs and obtain appropriate approval before making changes to proven programs.
• Monitor tooling and equipment and communicate repair or tooling needs to the supervisor.
• Troubleshoot machining processes and make appropriate adjustments to maintain quality and productivity.
• Inspect first-run and sample parts using appropriate measuring equipment.
• Support drilling, turning, facing, grooving, threading, knurling, and other machining operations.
• Train and mentor machinists in machine operation, setups, programming, process improvement, and best practices.
• Help team members develop their skills and become increasingly self-sufficient.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work environment.
• Promote a culture where safety, quality, and on-time delivery are never compromised.
• Support continuous improvement efforts and help improve department production performance.
• Assist the Department Supervisor with non-disciplinary leadership and operational tasks as needed.
