CNC Production Machinist

CNC Production Machinist

Step onto the floor of our Columbus facility and begin a shift where precision and professionalism define your day. You’ll operate and care for CNC equipment, keep production flowing, and uphold world-class quality standards while working on-site with a team committed to continuous improvement.

A day in the life

You arrive, review prints, and set up the machine for the next run. You verify tooling offsets, monitor tool life, and replace cutting inserts as needed. Throughout the shift, you perform hourly part inspections with metrology equipment and use the CMM to validate critical features. You keep detailed documentation—shift reports, inspection cards, and route cards—so the next operator is set up for success. Before clocking out, you complete startup/shutdown routines, top off fluids, and perform daily preventative maintenance to keep the cell in peak condition.

• Read and interpret prints/blueprints to meet specification.
