CNC Machinist — St. Charles, Missouri
Express Employment Professionals is a staffing agency connecting experienced tradespeople with top manufacturing and industrial employers across the St. Louis Metro and St. Charles County area. If selected, you will be employed through Express Employment Professionals.

About the Role
This CNC Machinist position is for an experienced machinist in St. Charles who can program, set up, and run CNC mills and/or lathes independently. You’ll work from blueprints, hold tight tolerances, and make real-time edits and offsets in a production or job shop environment. This is a skilled machinist role—not a button‑pushing position.

What We Offer

  • Pay: $25.00 — $35.00 per hour based on experience
  • Shift: Multiple shifts available — discuss during recruiter call
  • Weekly pay
  • Temp-to-hire potential based on performance and fit
  • One application, access to multiple client opportunities across the St. Louis Metro and St. Charles County area

What You'll Be Doing

  • Program, set up, and operate CNC mills and/or lathes using G-code or conversational controls
  • Read and interpret blueprints, tolerances, and basic GD&T to produce precision parts
  • Perform complete machine setups including tooling, fixturing, work offsets, and tool length offsets
  • Edit programs and adjust feeds, speeds, and offsets to maintain quality and surface finish
  • Inspect finished parts using micrometers, calipers, indicators, and other precision measuring tools

To Be Considered, You Must Meet the Following:

  • Must have hands-on CNC programming, setup, and operation experience — button pressers or machine monitors do NOT qualify
  • Proven experience running CNC mills and/or lathes in a production or job shop environment
  • Ability to read blueprints and understand tolerances and machining requirements
  • Experience editing CNC programs and troubleshooting machining issues
  • Strong knowledge of cutting tools, materials, speeds, and feeds

This Role is NOT for You If:

  • Your experience is limited to loading parts and pressing cycle start
  • You have never set up tooling, fixtures, or edited CNC programs
  • Your background is general manufacturing or machine operation without CNC machining experience
