Dixon Brass, a proud division of The Dixon Group is looking for a detailed-oriented and motivated CNC (Computer Numerical Controlled) Operator, with programming familiarity to join our talented team in Westmont, IL! This is a crucial role where you'll be responsible for setting up and operating CNC lathes to manufacture high quality precision metal components and inspect product to drawing specifications.

Who We Are: The Dixon Group is a global, family-owned manufacturing company with a history of over 100 years of operation in the U.S.A.

What You'll Do:

Own the Process: You'll be in charge of setting up, programming, and operating CNC (Computer Numerical Controlled) lathes from start to finish.

Be a Quality Champion: Act as our first line of defense for quality. You'll use calipers, micrometers, and blueprints to inspect products meticulously and ensure they meet our exact specifications.

Multi-task & Problem-Solve: Showcase your skills by efficiently running more than one machine at a time. You'll also learn to recognize and troubleshoot machining issues, making adjustments as needed.

A minimum of 5 or more years setting up, and operating CNC (Computer Numerical Controlled) lathes.

A background in G-code programming is a huge plus!

Familiarity with CAM software (like SmartCam).

You can confidently read and interpret complex blueprints.

You are proficient with calipers, micrometers, and other measuring tools-you have a keen eye for detail.

Mechanical Aptitude: You're naturally good with tools and understanding how machines work.

Great attitude, a reliable work ethic (attendance is key!), and you're always willing to learn.

Ability to stand for extended periods and can lift up to 50 lbs during your shift.

Experience with sub-spindle pickoff and bar feeders.

Turret Operations: Knowledge of wait codes for 2-turret operations (though we are willing to train the right person on this!).

What We Offer:

Medical, dental, and vision insurance for you and your family

Competitive salary

Bonus programs

401K retirement plan

Training opportunities

Tuition reimbursement

Paid vacation, PTO, and holidays

Gym reimbursements, and more!

Join us and be a part of a team that values your contributions and supports your goals!
