CNC Toolroom Programmer–Machinist (GibbsCAM Specialist)
Location: Holland, MI (On-site) | Employment: Direct Hire, Full-time | Shift: 2nd Shift
Compensation: $23.00–$34.50 per hour
A day in the life
You clock in for second shift and head straight to the toolroom. A new blueprint is waiting—tight tolerances, complex geometry. You load up GibbsCAM, create and refine your program, then move to the machine to set tooling and prove out the job. First-article inspection looks good—micrometers and comparators confirm you’re on the money. A teammate flags a drawing change; you adjust the program on the fly, update setup instructions, and keep the spindle turning. Before the night’s over, you’ve solved a chatter issue, shaved seconds off cycle time, and wrapped solid documentation for a repeat run.
