CNC Lead Machinist

• Get up to speed on the Mazak 5-axis horizontal machining centers and the Palletech robotic pallet system within your first 90 days, becoming the go-to resource on the floor for both.
• Lead setup, adjust programs, and operate complex multi-axis CNC equipment; validate new programs through first runs and first-article inspections.
• Serve as the primary point of contact for operators' day-to-day questions on setup, tooling, job routing, and troubleshooting; mentor Machinist I and II team members and help keep work moving efficiently on shift.
• When no Supervisor or Manager is on shift, act as the floor's first point of contact for safety incidents and personnel concerns: ensure immediate safety steps are taken, document factual observations, and contact on-call leadership or HR right away. All investigation and disciplinary decisions stay with leadership.
• Partner with Engineering and CNC programmers to reduce scrap, hold tight tolerances, and recommend design-for-manufacturing improvements; contribute to continuous improvement, lean, and 5S initiatives.
