Why This Role Exists

This role exists due to steady production demand at a growing machining and fabrication facility in Central Texas.

This CNC Operator plays a key role in producing high-quality machined components for industrial and fabrication applications. The shop values accuracy, consistency, and dependable machinists who take pride in their work.

This is not a programming role — it’s ideal for a hands-on operator who enjoys running machines, maintaining quality, and keeping production flowing.
