Job Description
Shape precision from metal—every shift, every part
At TekPro, we connect skilled makers with leading manufacturers across the Chicagoland area. We’re recruiting for a precision manufacturing facility in Hanover Park, Illinois , where you’ll run and set up CNC machinery to produce tight‑tolerance components in a clean, air‑conditioned shop.
A day in the lifeYou clock in, review the day’s work orders, and pull up the program and prints. You set tooling, dial in offsets, and validate your setup. The first article passes inspection—micrometers, calipers, and gauges confirm it’s in spec. Through the shift, you monitor cycle times, make fine machine adjustments, and keep quality rock‑solid while hitting production goals. You wrap by documenting results and suggesting a small tweak that shaves seconds off the next run.
What you’ll do- Set up and operate CNC mills and/or lathes to produce precision components
- Interpret blueprints and technical drawings to plan jobs and verify dimensions
- Perform tool changes, offsets, and machine adjustments to maintain accuracy
- Inspect parts using precision measuring instruments and document results
- Meet production targets while holding tight tolerances and quality standards
- Follow all safety procedures and contribute to continuous improvement
- 1+ years in CNC machining or machine operation
- Proficiency reading blueprints and using precision measurement tools
- Experience with tooling, offsets, and setups (preferred)
- Strong attention to detail and commitment to quality
- Ability to work 1st or 2nd shift
- $20 – $36/hour based on experience
- 1st and 2nd shift opportunities
- Overtime available for added earnings
- Modern, high‑precision environment
- Air‑conditioned facility
- Long‑term growth within a stable operation
