CNC Machine / Manual Lathe machine operator

This is an entry level position for a person to get into a machine shop environment

and learn to become a CNC Operator/Machinist.

This is a part-time role that has the potential to become a full time role depending on the individual and the needs of the business and business growth.

This is the standard entry point. Core responsibilities are:

• Always work and operate in a safe manner
• Loading and unloading parts
• Running pre-programmed machines
• Basic inspection (calipers, micrometers, gauges)
• Monitoring for tool wear or coolant issues
• Deburring and basic finishing
