Job Description

Multi-Axis CNC Programmer-Operator

A day in the life

Your shift starts at 7:00 AM. You review the ERP dispatch list, pull the latest drawings, and load the program. Tooling is set, offsets are dialed in, and you verify with a dry run. The first piece comes off the machine; calipers, micrometers, and a tape measure confirm the critical dimensions. You document the first-piece inspection, update quality records, and contribute to capability studies to validate process stability. Throughout the day, you rotate between CNC mills and lathes, keep equipment in top shape, and partner with quality and engineering when questions arise. You wrap up by logging production in the ERP system, cleaning your area, and ensuring everything aligns with safety, ISO, and company quality requirements.
