CNC Mill Machinist - All Shifts
About The Position
Hazelett Corporation is seeking a highly skilled, detail-oriented CNC Mill Machinist to join our manufacturing team. Hazelett designs, builds, and services custom continuous casting equipment used globally across the non-ferrous metals industry. Because our equipment is tailored to specialized continuous casting applications, our machine shop operates as a low-volume, high-mix custom manufacturing environment—not a repetitive, high-volume production line. You will work on varied, complex, and low-quantity workpieces where quality, mechanical intuition, and precise setup capability are critical.
Requirements
- 3+ years of experience performing independent setups and operating CNC mills in a low-volume/high-mix job shop or custom machinery manufacturing environment.
- Proven ability to set up workpieces from scratch, set offsets, establish fixtures, prove out new G-code programs safely (dry runs/single block), and trouble-shoot setup issues.
- Hands-on experience reading and editing G-code/M-code directly at the machine interface.
- Skilled in the use of precision tools (micrometers, vernier calipers, bore gauges, dial indicators) and reading GD&T symbols.
- Experience with overhead crane operation, rigging heavy or irregularly shaped workpieces, and forklift operation.
- Strong spatial awareness, mechanical aptitude, and a self-directed mindset capable of transitioning between different parts, setups, and materials efficiently.
- Unwavering commitment to personal safety, PPE standards, overhead lifting precautions, and machine guarding.
Responsibilities
- Perform complete, independent setups of vertical and horizontal CNC milling machines for short-run, complex, high-precision components.
- Determine optimal workholding strategies and safely rig large/irregular castings or forgings into machines using overhead cranes and hoists.
- Interpret complex engineering prints, GD&T geometric tolerances, CAD models, and shop sketches to establish accurate machining processes and datum structures.
- Load, prove out, and optimize G-code programs at the controller. Perform tool length offsets, work coordinate offsets, cutter compensation, and minor code edits to accommodate material variations or design changes.
- Select appropriate tooling, insert grades, feeds, and speeds based on varying workpiece materials.
- Measure and inspect first-piece and finished parts using micrometers, depth gauges, bore gauges, indicators, and height stands to maintain tight tolerances across unique job lots.
- Maintain a clean, safe, and organized workstation, adhering to safety protocols while handling raw materials, heavy rigging, and precision tooling.
Benefits
- 24 plans through its medical coverage, with Hazelett paying 100% of premiums for most plans.
- 100% of Dental Premiums paid by Hazelett.
- Life, AD&D, Short-Term Disability Insurance.
- Matching 401k after 90 days.
- 8 Company Holidays.
- 4 weeks of paid time off.
- On-site Athletic Trainer.
- Free uniforms with cleaning.
- Free use of company beach on Malletts Bay and boat mooring at a discounted price.
- Opportunities for growth and skill development.
