Multi-Axis CNC Production Operator — West Terre Haute, IN
Picture your day in a modern machine shop where precision rules. You arrive at our West Terre Haute facility, review the day’s work orders in the ERP system, and head to your cell. By mid-morning, you’ve set up a 3–4 axis VMC and a 2–4 axis lathe, verified offsets, and dialed in tooling. After lunch, you move to a 5+ axis VMC for a complex run, checking features with calipers and micrometers, and making fine adjustments to hold tight tolerances. Before the shift ends, you complete routine maintenance and hand off clean, organized work to the next operator.
