Machinist

Job Reference:32996 |Location:Auckland

At EmployMe Solutions, we specialise in matching skilled tradespeople with New Zealand’s top employers. Right now, one of the country’s most respected precision engineering workshops is looking for a talentedCNC Machinistto join their growing team.

Located on Auckland’s beautiful shore — close to beaches, cafes, and the best pies you’ll find anywhere — you’ll be joining a close-knit team that’s all aboutquality craftsmanship, world-class products, and seriously good workshop banter.

With brand new machines arriving, cutting-edge projects on the go, and a strong future ahead, this is your chance to work in a clean, organised environment whereyour skills will be valued, your ideas heard, and your coffee order remembered.

What We're Looking For:

• Experienced CNC Machinist who can set and operate lathes, mills, and mill/turns like a pro
• Bonus points for experience with GibbsCAM or machine controls like Mazak and DMG — but if you don’t, we’ll show you the ropes
• A solid understanding of CNC programming (even better if you’re fluent in "machine whispering")
• Turning and/or Mill/Turn experience preferred, but variety is the name of the game here — we have 3-axis and 5-axis mills too
• Someone who enjoys solving problems, collaborating with engineers, and gently educating apprentices (without eye rolls)
• A safety-first mindset — because no one wants exciting "stories" involving first aid kits
• A positive attitude, good humour, and a pride in top-notch, precision work

What You'll Be Doing:

• Setting up, operating, and fine-tuning CNC machines to create precision parts that fit perfectly the first time (or at least after a coffee)
• Programming and editing programs to optimise production
• Working with an epic range of machines — Victor, Mazak, DMG, Takisawa, and Hartford (we don’t mess around)
• Collaborating with design engineers to make life easier for everyone
• Pitching in with apprentices, because we all started somewhere
• Maintaining a clean, safe, and highly organised workshop
• Working flexible hours — early starts, late finishes, Saturday shifts — whatever suits your lifestyle

• Competitive hourly rates + overtime pay (because weekends deserve extra love)
• Weekly pay cycles — regular, reliable paydays
• Access to the latest and greatest machines and tech (we’re serious about upgrades)
• A clean, safe, modern workshop (no dodgy extension cords here)
• Discounts on car parts and servicing (your project car thanks you in advance)
• 1-week fully paid maternity/paternity leave supplement
• KiwiSaver perks through Booster
• Potential relocation assistance for the right candidate (yes, we help move legends)
• A genuinely supportive and tight-knit team who want you to succeed
• Auckland lifestyle: beaches, good food
