About The Position

Own the Setup. Shape the Finish. Join a stable, growing precision manufacturer in the northwest suburbs of Chicago and take charge of complex CNC lathe work from first piece to final inspection. As a seasoned, hands-on machinist, you’ll lead setups, make on-the-fly G & M code edits, and collaborate closely with engineering to keep quality high and production on track. A Day in the Life You arrive to a clean, well-organized shop and prep a modern CNC-controlled lathe for a new run. You load a program, refine G & M code as needed, dial in offsets, and prove out the job. Throughout the shift, you measure critical features with micrometers, calipers, and gauges to hold tight tolerances, document results, and communicate with supervision to resolve any machining challenges. When the next job hits the schedule, you pivot efficiently—retooling, resetting, and repeating with precision.
