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.

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.

• 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.
