Job DescriptionStep into Precision: Your Day as a CNC Lathe/Mill Machinist

Pay Range: $26.00–$32.00 per hour (based on experience)

What Your Day Looks Like

You arrive to a clean, organized shop, review the day’s prints, and select the right tooling for a new run. You load up the CNC lathe or milling center, confirm offsets, and plan the sequence of operations. With feeds and speeds dialed in, you produce tight-tolerance parts, checking dimensions as you go and making careful adjustments to keep everything on spec. You wrap by inspecting finished pieces, documenting results, and returning the workstation to a safe, orderly state.
