Experienced CNC Machinist Wanted – Programming & Setup Experience Required!

Masis Staffing Solutions is recruiting an experienced CNC Machinist for a direct hire opportunity with a well-established precision manufacturing company in the Greater Portland, Maine area.

If you’re a skilled machinist who enjoys programming, setting up your own machines, troubleshooting, and producing precision parts from blueprints, this is an excellent opportunity to put your skills to work!

Our client has been in business for over 50 years, producing high-quality machined components for industries including aerospace, defense, medical equipment, semiconductor manufacturing, and power generation.

This is a hands-on CNC programming and setup position, not a machine operator-only role.

What You’ll Do

  • Program, set up, and operate CNC milling machines and lathes.

  • Read and interpret blueprints, engineering drawings, work orders, and machining specifications.

  • Select cutting tools, fixtures, and workholding equipment for machining operations.

  • Enter and adjust CNC programs to meet part specifications.

  • Perform machine setups, tool changes, offsets, and machining adjustments.

  • Troubleshoot machining problems and make corrections to maintain quality.

  • Machine precision components to required dimensions and tolerances.

  • Inspect finished parts using micrometers, calipers, gauges, and other precision measuring instruments.

  • Monitor machine performance and perform routine preventive maintenance.

  • Complete production records and quality documentation.

  • Maintain a clean, organized, and safe working environment.

What We’re Looking For

  • Minimum 5 years of CNC machining experience.

  • Hands-on experience independently programming, setting up, and operating CNC mills and lathes.

  • Experience with horizontal milling machines.

  • Strong blueprint reading and machining knowledge.

  • Ability to select cutting tools, fixtures, and proper machining parameters.

  • Experience editing programs, adjusting offsets, and troubleshooting machining issues.

  • Ability to maintain close tolerances using precision measuring instruments.

  • Strong mechanical aptitude and problem-solving skills.

  • Ability to work independently with minimal supervision.

  • High school diploma or equivalent required; technical training preferred.

Important: We are looking for an experienced CNC Machinist who can independently program, set up, troubleshoot, and operate machining equipment. CNC operator-only experience does not meet the requirements for this position.

Compensation & Benefits

  • $32–$40 per hour, based on experience.

  • 15% shift differential for 2nd shift.

  • Direct hire — become an employee of the manufacturing company.

  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance.

  • 401(k) with employer match.

  • Paid time off and 11 paid holidays.

  • Employer-paid short-term disability and group life insurance.

  • Long-term disability and supplemental insurance options.

  • Paid tuition reimbursement.

  • Opportunities for professional growth and advancement.

Pre-Employment Requirements

  • Successful completion of a pre-employment drug screening.

  • Background check.

  • Ability to meet applicable employment and work authorization requirements.
