Build Your Skills + Build Exceptional Products
Axiom is looking for a motivated, hands-on individual who is eager to learn and grow in a manufacturing environment. As an Assistant CNC Operator, you'll work alongside experienced Operators and Programmers while helping produce the custom architectural, branded, and specialty products that Axiom is known for. This is an entry-level role designed for someone with curiosity, attention to detail, and a strong work ethic, not necessarily years of CNC experience.
From your first day, you'll be immersed in the manufacturing process, gaining practical experience with advanced CNC equipment, including 3-axis and multi-axis routers, with opportunities to cross-train on a laser and a press brake. You'll learn how projects move from design to finished product while developing valuable technical skills that can lead to long-term career growth.
Working closely with the CNC Manager and the broader production team, you'll help prepare materials, support machine setup and operation, inspect finished parts, and contribute to maintaining an organized, safe, and efficient shop environment. As your skills develop, you'll take on increasing responsibility and become an integral part of delivering high-quality work to our clients.
Success in this role comes from a willingness to learn, strong attention to detail, and a commitment to quality. You'll collaborate with programmers, project managers, and fellow production team members to ensure projects move smoothly through the manufacturing process. You'll learn how to verify materials, understand machining workflows, monitor machine performance, inspect finished components, package parts for downstream production, and help maintain the tools, equipment, and systems that keep the department running efficiently.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys working with their hands, solving problems, and seeing tangible results from their work every day. If you're looking for a role where you can develop technical skills, contribute to meaningful projects, and be part of a collaborative team, we'd love to meet you.
We're looking for someone who brings a positive attitude, strong organizational skills, and the ability to follow direction while taking ownership of their work. You should be comfortable working in a fast-paced manufacturing environment, communicating effectively with teammates, and lifting and handling materials as required. A commitment to safety and a willingness to complete forklift certification training are essential.
While not required, experience with CNC machinery, routers, lasers, press brakes, fabrication equipment, quality control processes, or manufacturing environments will help you hit the ground running. Familiarity with machining principles, material properties, troubleshooting, or multi-axis equipment is also valuable.
At Axiom, quality, craftsmanship, and continuous improvement are at the core of what we do. In this role, you'll be measured by your ability to deliver accurate work on schedule, maintain an organized workspace, minimize rework, and contribute positively to the team culture. Most importantly, you'll be part of a company that values learning, initiative, and professional growth.
The wage for this position is $18–$22 per hour, depending on experience.

If this opportunity aligns with your interests and career goals, we'd love to hear from you. Send us your resume along with a brief introduction about yourself and what excites you about joining the team. A formal cover letter isn't required.
