CNC Cam Programmer

CNC CAM Programmer / CNC Machine Operator

MC3 Manufacturing Inc. – Leamington, ON – Pay based on experience

The role

No two jobs here are the same. We build custom conveyors and fabricated equipment, which means the parts you’re programming and machining today are probably different from the ones you were running last week. That’s not a warning – for the right person, it’s exactly what makes this job worth showing up to.

We’re looking for a CNC programmer who knows their way around Mazak Power Mills and CNC Lathes as well as Awea CNC Mills and Bridge Mills – someone who can write a program in Lemoine, get it running, and produce a part that meets spec without a lot of handholding. Someone comfortable going straight to the controller when the job calls for it, and who treats the machine like a tool they’re responsible for, not just one they operate.

This is skilled work. The person who does it well knows it – and brings that standard to every part they run.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll take jobs from drawing to the finished part. That means writing programs in Lemoine, setting up and running the machines, checking your own work, and adjusting when something’s not right. You’ll work across a range of materials and tolerances, read blueprints and engineering specs directly, and keep the machines in good shape. When a one-off custom part needs to be right the first time, you’re the person making that happen.

What you bring

You’ve done this long enough to trust your instincts. You know when a program needs another pass before you run it, and you know how to listen to a machine. Custom and short-run work doesn’t throw you – it’s where you do your best work.
