Job Description

                                                            CNC Programming Machinist – Take the Lead at FurstStaffing

FurstStaffing is seeking a highly skilled CNC Programming Machinist who thrives on precision, problem-solving, and stepping up when it counts. If you can program from print, set up multi-axis lathes, and confidently run Mazatrol conversational programming, this is your opportunity to play a key role on a high-performing team. You won't just be running machines. You'll be a direct right hand to the CNC Supervisor and ready to lead in their absence. 

Hours: Monday–Friday | 6:30 AM – 3:00 PM
Pay: $25.00 – $30.00 per hour (DOE)
Benefits: Furst Benefits

What You’ll Do:
• Program CNC lathes directly from print (4+ years required)
 • Create and prove part programs using Mazatrol conversational programming
 • Enter zero and reference points, tool registers, offsets, compensation, and conditional switches
 • Perform calculations using geometry and trigonometry
 • Complete full machine setups independently
 • Produce quality parts from complex blueprints with minimal supervision
 • Interpret GD&T and detailed technical drawings
 • Install and adjust 3- and 4-jaw chucks, collets, bushings, stops, and tooling
 • Verify settings through first-run inspections and buddy checks
 • Support and guide the CNC Lathe team through programming and setup validation

What You Bring:
• Proven CNC machining experience in a manufacturing environment (2-axis through 5-axis required)
 • Strong working knowledge of Mazatrol and Fanuc systems
 • Ability to accurately read and interpret blueprints and technical drawings
 • Proficiency with micrometers, bore gauges, calipers, and other precision measuring tools
 • Basic milling and power tool knowledge preferred
 • Ability to lead others and support team success

Why This Role Stands Out:
This is more than a machinist position. It’s an opportunity to step into leadership, expand your programming expertise, run complex jobs independently, and contribute to delivering exceptional precision machining.

If you're ready to elevate your career and work where your skills truly make an impact, apply directly to this posting. If already registered with FurstStaffing, contact at Elisa at 815-229-7810.
