CNC Machinist - 1st shift, starting pay of $27/hour

Twin City Fan & Blower•Mitchell, SD

About The Position

The CNC Machinist produces machined parts, products, and components by programming, setting up, and operating CNC vertical milling machines, manual and conventional machines, and other equipment as required. The role develops or edits programs from manufacturing blueprints, schematics, and sketches; operates machinery to meet production requirements; and performs quality checks using precision measuring devices. The machinist works with Engineering to address product or blueprint issues, creates patterns and parts using CAD/CAM and related software, and takes action to correct out-of-tolerance parts or other production problems. The position also involves creating prototypes and samples, applying knowledge of materials, steels, stresses, and tolerances, optimizing tool paths and material use, verifying and maintaining generated code, and converting between 2D drawings and 3D models or flat patterns. The employee may attend relevant training, perform scheduled machine checks, maintain a safe and organized workplace, and carry out other assigned duties. The role requires following company safety and health policies and working in accordance with TCF Core Values.
