Senior CNC Machinist
About The Position
We are hiring Senior CNC Machinists to support our climate-controlled, high-mix, low-volume precision machining facility in Tulsa, OK. We are an industry-leading manufacturer building advanced, custom equipment for the construction and utilities industries. In this role, you will be working with massive, highly complex components. Our shop floor features heavy-duty machinery, including lots of Mazak equipment, large format 5-axis mill-turns, gantry 5-axis mills, vertical turret lathes (VTLs), horizontal mills, and machines with multi-pallet systems. Machining large-format parts is a unique, highly rewarding challenge that will elevate your craftsmanship to the next level. You are not expected to walk in on day one with experience running these exact machines—while that is preferred, what we truly value are smart, growth-minded problem solvers who are eager to learn and can rise to the challenge of large-scale precision work.
Requirements
- 3+ years of real CNC machining experience.
- Strong growth mindset, eager to learn, self-driven attitude, and the ability to rise to the challenge of handling large-scale parts.
- Proven ability to perform your own setups, tear-downs, and first-article inspections.
- Strong ability to read and act on complex blueprints and part tolerances.
- Proficiency with standard measurement tools to size in parts and verify quality.
- Unwavering commitment to safety, craftsmanship, and a track record of reliability and accountability in a high-mix, precision environment.
Nice To Haves
- Proven experience working with large-format parts and navigating the unique machining challenges they present.
- Hands-on experience with Mazak mills and lathes
- Hands-on experience with large format 5-axis mills, mill-turns, large gantry mills, vertical turret lathes (VTLs), and/or large horizontal mills.
- Experience setting up and running machines equipped with multi-pallet systems for continuous production.
- Formal technical/trade school certification in precision machining or a related field.
Responsibilities
- Perform highly complex, independent set-ups, including instances where no work holding/fixture is available, requiring you to build your own set-up from scratch.
- Perform prove-outs of new programs and machining processes. Fluently read, make edits, and optimize CNC programs (G-code/M-code) directly at the machine to maintain quality and throughput.
- Size in first-articles using offsets and observed measurements with micrometers, calipers, gauges, and indicators. Operate advanced inspection equipment, including Micro-Hite & Faro Arms.
- Resolve non-conformance, machine, tooling, and material issues autonomously on the fly.
- Read and interpret complex drawings, symbols, and strict GD&T tolerances.
- Identify and select the correct material for each job, meeting or beating assigned run times while holding strict specifications.
- Effectively train and mentor other machinists on the floor, sharing knowledge and proactively suggesting continuous process improvements.
Benefits
