  • Werko Industrial Machining
  • Pennsauken, NJ

Job Description

It’s 7:30 AM in Pennsauken, NJ. The floor is cool and quiet in our climate‑controlled 18,000 sq. ft. facility. A new custom job hits the cell: complex geometry, strict GD&T, and unforgiving tolerances. You review the print, map the workholding and tooling strategy, program the path in CAM, and bring a Haas VMC to life. The first‑article measures dead‑on with micrometers and gauges. Then you hand the station to an operator—coaching the setup steps and the changeover checklist—before tuning feeds, speeds, and offsets to lock in repeatability.

If that scenario sounds like a good morning, you’ll thrive as our CNC Milling Cell Lead at Werko Machine Company. We’re increasing capacity across custom and high‑precision projects and need a hands‑on leader who can elevate programming, setup, and people on the shop floor.

Core responsibilities

  • Program, set up, and operate Haas 3–4 axis VMCs
  • Interpret blueprints, drawings, and GD&T; convert them into robust machining plans
  • Choose workholding and tooling; define the machining sequence
  • Run first‑article and in‑process inspections with calipers, micrometers, and precision gauges
  • Hold tight tolerances and resolve issues quickly by adjusting offsets, feeds, and speeds
  • Guide operators through setups, changeovers, and continuous improvements
  • Support production scheduling and keep workflow steady
  • Maintain high standards of communication and shop organization

This is a floor‑forward leadership role—not a sit‑and‑program position.

Background we value

  • Strong troubleshooting skills
  • CNC programming experience
  • Proven CNC machine setup & changeover ability
  • Experience with multi‑axis CNC equipment (preferred)
  • Comfort with CAD/CAM software
  • Track record in custom or high‑precision manufacturing
  • Large horizontal boring mill know‑how is a plus

Schedule and compensation

  • Monday–Friday, 7:30 AM – 4:00 PM
  • $34 – 38 per hour
  • Pension plan / 401 K
  • Life Insurance
  • 2 weeks PTO + sick leave

Tech stack

  • CNC Mill (3–4 axis VMC) — Haas
  • CAM — Autodesk Fusion 360
