- Work cross-functionally with quoting, estimating, suppliers, and customers
- Troubleshoot complex machining issues and guide real-time fixes
- Monitor shop metrics, drive process improvements, and uphold quality standards
- Train and support a team of about 15 skilled machinists and operators
- Maintain records and production data in ERP and internal systems
Your Background:
- BS degree in engineering, manufacturing, or a related field — or 5+ years of CNC leadership in a machining environment
- Strong knowledge of CNC machining and G-Code programming
- Proven ability to lead and manage teams in a job shop setting
- Skilled in blueprint reading, part analysis, and technical troubleshooting
