Hands-On Machining Meets Engineering

Our client is seeking a skilled Machinist / Engineering Technician who brings strong CNC machining expertise along with an engineering mindset.

This is an excellent opportunity for a machinist who wants to work closely with engineering and play a key role in translating engineering requirements into practical machining processes, tooling, fixtures, setups, and production solutions.

The ideal candidate is more than a machine operator: you understand why a part is machined a certain way and can independently take a job from engineering drawing through setup and final machining.

What You'll Do

• Operate and set up primarily CNC lathes, with CNC mill experience also considered
• Review and interpret blueprints, engineering drawings, and GD&T requirements
• Translate engineering requirements into practical machining processes
• Develop and understand machining sequences and process steps
• Set up CNC machines, including machine zeroing, tool setup, part location, and offsets
• Apply tooling and fixture knowledge to achieve accurate, efficient machining
• Use G-code and understand CNC programming fundamentals
• Work closely with engineers to troubleshoot machining challenges and improve processes
• Identify tooling, fixture, setup, and production requirements
• Support the development and implementation of practical machining solutions
• Ensure finished components meet engineering specifications and quality requirements

What We're Looking For

• Strong CNC machining experience, preferably with CNC lathes
• CNC mill experience will also be considered
• Hands-on CNC setup experience
• Ability to read and interpret blueprints and engineering drawings
• Working knowledge of GD&T
• Working knowledge of G-code and CNC programming fundamentals
• Understanding of tooling, fixtures, part location, and machining processes
• Ability to visualize machining sequences and determine practical process steps
• Experience with three-axis CNC equipment
• Four-axis experience is an asset
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively with engineers

Preferred Experience

• Fanuc controls
• Doosan CNC machines
• Mastercam
• CNC lathe experience
• Experience translating engineering requirements into practical machining processes
• Strong combination of hands-on machining expertise and engineering aptitude

The Ideal Candidate

You are a skilled machinist with an engineering mindset who enjoys solving problems and understanding the complete manufacturing process. You can look at a drawing, understand the GD&T, visualize how the part needs to be machined, determine the appropriate tooling and fixturing, complete the setup, and produce the finished component to specification.

If you want a role where your machining expertise and engineering knowledge are both valued, this is an excellent opportunity to make a direct impact.
