Lead a Haas CNC Cell in Sun Valley
Through Express Employment Professionals (North Hollywood), our Sun Valley client is seeking a senior-level CNC machinist to own and run a three-machine cell of Haas CNC lathes and/or a small cell of Haas CNC mills. You’ll juggle multiple machines, ensure smooth handoffs to operators, and jump in to solve technical challenges across setups and production.
What your day looks like
You arrive, review the day’s drawings and specs, lay out work, and kick off first-article runs. While one part is proving out, you’re preparing the next setup, designing a quick fixture, and coordinating with fellow machinists to keep the cell moving. You’ll use your shop math, GD&T fluency, and full G-code knowledge to make sure parts are practical to produce—economically and repeatably.
