CNC Machinist (225-811)

A CNC Machinist plays a crucial role in the manufacturing process by creating precise parts and components from raw materials through the operation of computer numerical control (CNC) machines. This role requires a deep understanding of CNC technology, excellent attention to detail, and the ability to work with a variety of materials. CNC Machinists must interpret technical blueprints and plans to produce parts that meet strict specifications, ensuring that the end products are of high quality and suitable for their intended purpose. The role requires both technical skill and creative problem-solving ability, as machinists often need to troubleshoot and tweak programs to achieve the desired outcome. Working in collaboration with engineers and production crews, CNC Machinists contribute significantly to the efficient functioning of manufacturing operations, ultimately impacting the quality and success of the finished products.
