CNC Machine Operator - 1st Shift in Riverton

Job DescriptionJob DescriptionWhat You Will Own

  • Operate assigned CNC machines (Vertical Mills, Lathes, Swiss Lathes, Mazak 5-axis horizontals) safely and independently, contributing clean, documented spindle hours every shift.
  • Read prints, router sheets, and traveler work instructions accurately; perform in-process inspection using calipers, micrometers, and bore gauges; log results and downtime codes correctly.
  • At Level I: recognize tool wear signs and flag them before failure; escalate any out-of-tolerance condition immediately and correctly, every time.
  • At Level II: independently troubleshoot chatter, tool life drops, and dimensional drift using a logical sequence; hold tolerances in the +/-.0005" range while accounting for thermal drift and machine-specific behavior.
  • Catch potential nonconformances before they become MRB events -- zero containment events from operator error is the baseline, not a stretch goal.
  • At Level II: actively mentor a Level I machinist on your machine.

What You Bring

Required (Level I):

  • High School Diploma, GED, Trade/Vocational Certificate, or equivalent work experience.
  • Ability to operate CNC machine tools safely and follow traveler work instructions.
  • Basic measurement skills: calipers, micrometers, gauges.
  • Attention to detail and willingness to ask when something does not look right.

Required (Level II):

  • 3+ years of relevant CNC machining experience.
  • High School Diploma, GED, Trade/Vocational Certificate, Associate's Degree, or equivalent.
  • Proven ability to interpret GD&T, set up 5-axis or multi-axis jobs independently, and troubleshoot dimensional issues without guesswork.
  • Demonstrated track record of zero MRB events from operator error.

Nice to Have (either level):

  • Experience on Mazak 5-axis horizontals or DMU-style machines.
  • Eurotech lathe experience (active plus -- we are expanding those lines).
  • Background in aerospace or defense manufacturing; familiarity with AS9100 quality systems.
  • Comfort with rotary/tilt axis offset strategy and bonus tolerance calculation.

Pay and Benefits

$20.00 - $30.00/hr ($41,600 - $62,400/yr), based on experience and level. We offer medical, dental, and vision coverage, 401(k) with company match, and paid time off. Delva runs two shifts -- let us know your preference when you apply.
