Why This Role Exists

This role exists because Technox Machine continues to expand its large-part machining and heavy-component manufacturing capabilities for customers across industries including industrial equipment, automation, food processing, packaging, aerospace, and specialized manufacturing.

At Technox, this position plays a critical role in producing complex, oversized precision components while supporting high-quality machining operations in a shop known for large horizontal boring mills, vertical turning lathes, planer mills, and heavy fabrication capabilities.

This is an opportunity to work on the kind of large-scale machining projects that few shops in the Midwest can handle.

The Work You’ll Be Doing

In this role, you will:

• Set up and operate CNC horizontal boring mills for large-part machining applications
• Work from blueprints, engineering drawings, and specifications to machine precision components
• Edit and troubleshoot CNC programs as needed at the machine
• Verify tooling, workholding, offsets, and machine setup before production
• Machine large and complex components for industrial and heavy manufacturing applications
• Perform first-article and in-process inspections using precision measuring equipment
• Maintain dimensional accuracy and part quality throughout the machining process
• Collaborate with programmers, machinists, fabrication personnel, and quality teams to improve processes and workflow
• Troubleshoot machining issues and make adjustments to feeds, speeds, tooling, and offsets as needed
• Maintain a safe, organized, and professional work environment
