CNC Machinist

We are recruiting CNC machinists and set-up operators for machine shops and manufacturers in Windsor: mills, lathes and routers on Fanuc, Haas, Mazak and Siemens controls.

Shops ask us for people who can do more than press cycle start: set up a job from the drawing, hold the tolerance, measure your own parts and make the offsets and program edits that keep a run in specification. We test the skill directly, usually with a supervised set-up on the shop's own machine.

Pay and hours

• $24.00 to $33.00 an hour. Set-up, program editing and five-axis or mould work pay at the top of the range and beyond for permanent hires.
• Day and afternoon shifts, with nights at some production shops
• Overtime is common when shops are busy
• Overtime paid at time and a half after 44 hours in a week
• Offered as: contract, temp-to-perm and permanent. While you are on assignment through us, Assured is your employer and pays you.

What you will do

• Set up and run CNC mills or lathes from drawings and set-up sheets
• Load programs, set tools and work offsets, and prove out first parts
• Measure parts with micrometers, calipers and gauges and adjust offsets
• Make basic program edits at the control
• Deburr, record inspection results and keep the machine clean

What you need

• Legally entitled to work in Canada
• At least two years of CNC set-up and operation
• Able to read engineering drawings, including geometric tolerances
• Confident with micrometers, calipers and height gauges
• CSA-approved safety boots and safety glasses

Helpful, not required: a machinist certificate or apprenticeship; CAM software experience; mould, tool-and-die or aerospace work.

The work environment

• Standing at a machine, with coolant and metal chips
• Tight tolerances and responsibility for expensive parts
• Hearing protection and safety glasses are provided where required

What you get

• Paid every week by direct deposit, with an electronic pay stub
• Vacation pay on top of your hourly rate, and public holiday pay when you qualify
• WSIB coverage from your first shift, with tax and other deductions handled on every pay
• A safety orientation before you start, and WHMIS training arranged if you need it
• A recruiter you can phone seven days a week
• Never a fee. Employers pay for our service, not you

Where the work is in Windsor

• Oldcastle and Tecumseh: tool, die, mould and automation shops serving the auto industry.

Transit Windsor covers the city, including the Walker Road and Tecumseh Road routes to the east-side plants and Route 250 through Twin Oaks Industrial Park on weekdays. Outside the city limits there is little or no fixed-route service, so the county plants and border yards need a car. Parking is free everywhere.

These roles also suit people living in Tecumseh, LaSalle, Lakeshore, Amherstburg and Essex.
