CNC Maintenance Controls Technologist

CNC Maintenance Controls Technologist

Location: Brighton, Michigan

Employment Type: Full-Time | Direct Hire

Shift: Monday–Friday, 1st Shift with a flexible start between 7:00–9:00 a.m.; overtime as needed

Compensation: $28.00–$36.00 per hour, based on experience

A day in this role

Morning starts on the production floor, walking the CNC lines to verify overnight status and reviewing open work orders in the CMMS. You’ll triage equipment calls, perform rapid diagnostics, and dive into ladder logic on Fanuc, Mitsubishi, and Siemens controls to isolate faults. As the day progresses, you’ll execute preventive maintenance to OEM specs, lockout/tagout (LOTO) equipment for safety, and collaborate with operators and engineers to fine-tune performance. You may level and align a newly rigged machine before lunch, then shift to root-cause analysis on a recurring hydraulic issue. Before clocking out, you’ll document parts used, time spent, and corrective actions, keeping uptime high and the shop running smoothly.
