CNC Milling / Turning Technician — Blueprint & Metrology Specialist

Are you the CNC pro who thrives on tight tolerances and smooth setups?

If you can turn a blueprint into a repeatable, efficient CNC process, we want to talk. We’re hiring in Palatine, IL for a second-shift expert who can both set up and operate machining centers in a production setting. This is a long-term contract role with the potential to transition to direct hire .

Questions to ask yourself

• Can you confidently set tool lengths, dial in work offsets, and verify a first article on a Mazak or Okuma (Haas experience may also be considered)?
• Do you read prints fluently enough to ace a blueprint test during the interview?
• Are micrometers and calipers second nature when validating GD&T callouts?
• Will you keep parts moving—deburr, clean, and meet rate—while maintaining safety and quality?
• Are you comfortable handling parts from 1–25 lbs., with occasional lifts up to 50 lbs.?
