Facilities Maintenance ExperienceCNC Machine RepairPreventive Maintenance & InspectionMaintenance and Repair SkillsEquipment Repair & MaintenanceBlueprint ReadingMicrosoft Excel Read LessYour shift begins at the machine: reviewing work instructions, loading a complex setup on an Okuma lathe, and confirming offsets. You read blueprints with full GD&T callouts, plan your approach, and make simple program edits directly at the control. As parts run, you verify dimensions using everything from hand tools to the optical comparator and CMM, documenting results and keeping production moving under limited supervision.
Throughout the day, you translate G and M code into real-world performance, switching between Fanuc and Okuma controls with confidence. Whether it’s a quick changeover or a full setup for a production run, you keep quality and throughput in balance.
What you’ll do Set up and operate standard CNC lathes (primarily Okuma) with Fanuc and Okuma controls.Interpret blueprints and GD&T to plan accurate machining steps.Perform simple program edits and read/understand G- and M-code.Execute complex setups using work instructions or guides with limited supervision.Conduct in-process and final inspections using hand tools, optical comparator, and CMM.Complete efficient changeovers and prepare machines for production runs. What you bring CNC Machinist Level 2 or 3 experience.Hands-on expertise with Okuma lathes; fluent in Fanuc and Okuma controls.Strong blueprint reading, including GD&T.Comfort reading and applying G- and M-code.Skill with measuring tools from hand gauges to CMM and optical comparator.Ability to own complex setups and work productively with limited oversight.
