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.
