CNC Router Operator

OnSite Sign Group Inc. • City of Lloydminster, SK

5d • CA$22 - CA$32 • Onsite

About The Position

Onsite Sign Group is seeking a CNC Router Operator for their Lloydminster facility. This role is crucial as the CNC department is where nearly every custom sign starts, and accuracy here sets the quality for all subsequent departments. The position involves setting up and operating CNC flatbed routers, working with various software, and handling diverse materials. Unlike repetitive roles, this position requires daily setup of new jobs, program verification, material selection, and problem-solving. While previous CNC experience is preferred, the company is willing to train mechanically capable candidates with relevant shop experience and strong attention to detail, particularly those with backgrounds in cabinetmaking, millwork, and machining.

Requirements

• Previous CNC router or comparable CNC equipment experience is preferred.
• Able to read measurements, drawings, and specifications accurately.
• Comfortable using a computer and learning production software.
• Strong mechanical aptitude and practical problem-solving ability.
• Able to handle sheet material, lift up to 50 lb, and stand for a full shift.
• Reliable, punctual, safety-minded, and able to work with limited supervision.
• Valid Class 5 driver's licence.

Nice To Haves

• VCarve, Aspire, EnRoute, or other CAM/nesting software.
• Sign manufacturing, cabinetmaking, woodworking, plastics, or print-production experience.
• Forklift training and basic familiarity with vector artwork.

Responsibilities

• Set up and operate a CNC flatbed router safely and efficiently.
• Use VCarve or similar software to open, nest, check, and run production files.
• Read work orders, cut files, shop drawings, and job specifications before starting work.
• Load and secure sheet material; select tooling and confirm vacuum hold-down.
• Cut and route aluminum composite material, acrylic, PVC, HDU, MDF, plastics, and other sign substrates.
• Complete first-piece checks and monitor dimensions, edge quality, and material use throughout the run.
• Deburr, clean, label, and organize completed parts for the next production stage.
• Perform routine cleaning and basic maintenance; report equipment or cut-quality problems promptly.
• Coordinate with production design and fabrication when drawings, files, or material do not match.
• Maintain a clean, safe, and organized CNC work area.

Benefits

• $22–$32 per hour, based on demonstrated experience and ability.
• Health and dental benefits after the successful completion of the probationary period.
• Full-time, year-round work — Monday to Friday, 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. — home every night.
• Practical training and a real path to advancement — we promote from within.
• Stable, growing company with over 30 years in business.
