hop's CNC machinists depend on having the right cutting tools, holders, inserts, and gauges on hand to keep production moving. The CNC Tool Room Attendant owns that tool room — keeping it organized, stocked, and accurate — so machinists spend their time running parts instead of hunting for tooling.
The Work You'll Be Doing
• Maintain a clean, safe, and organized CNC tool room using 5S principles
• Issue and return cutting tools, inserts, holders, collets, drills, end mills, taps, and other tooling
• Maintain accurate tooling inventory and monitor minimum/maximum stock levels
• Notify the Manufacturing Manager or Purchasing when tooling needs to be reordered
• Prepare and stage tooling for upcoming CNC setups and production jobs
• Assemble tool holders and cutting tools according to setup sheets and job requirements
• Preset and measure tooling when required
• Inspect tools, holders, and collets for wear, damage, cleanliness, and proper condition
• Replace worn inserts and cutting tools as needed
• Clean tooling and return it to the proper labeled storage location
• Assist machinists in locating the correct tooling for production jobs
• Track tooling usage and assist with reducing unnecessary tooling costs
• Communicate tooling shortages before they affect production
• Follow all company safety procedures and properly handle sharp cutting tools
• Perform additional manufacturing support duties as assigned
What We're Looking ForRequired
• High school diploma or equivalent preferred
• Basic knowledge of cutting tools, inserts, tool holders, collets, drills, end mills, and taps
• Ability to read part numbers, tooling descriptions, setup sheets, and basic manufacturing documentation
• Basic computer and inventory-management skills
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
• Dependable attendance, punctuality, and ability to work effectively with others
Preferred (Not Required)
• CNC machine shop, tool room, tool crib, or manufacturing experience
Physical Demands
Ability to stand and walk for extended periods; safely handle sharp cutting tools and tool holders; bend, reach, and access storage areas; and lift/carry tooling and supplies up to approximately 40 pounds.
Why Machinists Like Working Here
• Tight-knit, team-first culture
• A role with real ownership — the tool room runs the way you set it up
• Modern CNC equipment and continued investment in the shop
• Stable workload with long-term customer programs
