CNC MACHINIST – 3, 4 & 5 AXIS | DAYS, SWINGS & 3-DAY SHIFTS

Tired of making the same part all day? Come machine something different.

Prime Machine is a custom job shop — NOT a production shop. We machine everything from small precision components to large, complex metal parts supporting aerospace, defense, mining, energy, and heavy industrial customers.

We are looking for CNC Machinists — not just machine operators. If you know how to set up a machine, read a print, make program adjustments, and figure out how to make the part, we want to talk to you!

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Set up and operate 3-, 4-, and 5-axis CNC machines
• Machine primarily metal components in a true job-shop environment
• Read blueprints and have working knowledge of GD&T
• Perform CNC programming and program edits
• Determine setups, tooling, speeds, and feeds
• Inspect your own work and hold required tolerances
• Troubleshoot machining, tooling, and setup issues
• Complete required inspection and job documentation
• Mastercam experience is a plus

Our CNC Machinists are expected to continually develop their skills in machining practices, print reading, CNC programming, geometric tolerances, and machine setups. Machinists also plan their assigned work and determine tooling and setup requirements.
