CNC Lead Machinist – Milling | $1,500 Sign-On Bonus

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The description includes intro paragraphs. We need to use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections where there is real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Key sections: - Intro: "Join the PacAero Team! PacAero Agawam (formerly Litron) is a precision manufacturer..." This is about the role/company. Could be "About the role". We'll put that in

About the role

with

containing that paragraph. - Responsibilities: The posting has sections: "CNC Setup, Operation & Troubleshooting", "Team & Production Support", "Quality & Compliance", "Process & Operational Support", "Workplace Standards". Those are responsibilities. We'll combine into a

• list? The rule: Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we need to list duties as
  • . Could group them but each bullet is a duty. We'll produce a
    with each duty as
    • . Might be many; okay. - Requirements: The posting has "Requirements" heading then bullet list: CNC Setup, Operation & Troubleshooting (actually that's a subheading). But we need to extract the list items under Requirements. Actually after "Requirements" there is a list of duties again? Wait the posting: after "Requirements" heading, they list: CNC Setup, Operation & Troubleshooting - Perform and support CNC milling setups... ... etc. Then "Team & Production Support" - Provide day-to-day technical direction... Then "Quality & Compliance" - Ensure machining activities... Then "Process & Operational Support" - Help maintain efficient workflow... Then "Workplace Standards" - Maintain a clean... Thus these are actually responsibilities, not requirements. The "Requirements" section maybe just a heading but content is responsibilities. However the posting also later has "Qualifications" heading with bullet list of qualifications. Then "Preferred Qualifications". Then "Skills & Competencies". Then "Compensation & Benefits". Then "Work Environment & Physical Requirements". Then "Export Control Requirements". Then "Salary Description". So we need to map to our allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide what goes where. - About the role: intro paragraph. - Responsibilities: combine the duty bullet lists (CNC Setup..., Team & Production Support, Quality & Compliance, Process & Operational Support, Workplace Standards). Use
      • . - Requirements: maybe the "Qualifications" section? Actually "Requirements" heading in posting is misused; but we have a "Qualifications" section later. The instruction: Use headings exactly as given: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to map content to those headings. Likely: - Requirements: the mandatory qualifications (High School Diploma..., Minimum 5 years..., etc.) from "Qualifications" heading. - Qualifications: maybe the "Preferred Qualifications" section? But we already used Qualifications for mandatory; maybe we treat "Qualifications" as mandatory and "Preferred Qualifications" as part of Skills? However we have a separate Skills heading. The posting has "Skills & Competencies". That could map to Skills. - Benefits: from "Compensation & Benefits" section (list of benefits). Also includes sign-on bonus etc. - Pay: from Salary Description "$32-$45/hr". Also mention sign-on bonus? That's benefit. Pay range. - Schedule: from "This position located in Agawam, MA and is onsite, full-time days, Monday through Friday." Also maybe overtime note. - Skills: from "Skills & Competencies" bullet list. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content. We need to ensure we don't repeat job title. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, etc. Remove Export Control Requirements? That's maybe not required but it's substantive? It's about export control; could be considered a requirement but not in our headings. Might be omitted as not fitting headings? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include export control info somewhere. Where to put? Could be under Requirements or Qualifications? It's a requirement. Could add a

        under Requirements about export control. Similarly Work Environment & Physical Requirements could go under Requirements or maybe a separate section but we don't have heading for that. Could incorporate into Requirements as a paragraph. We must not create sections like "Work Environment". So we need to embed that info within existing sections, likely Requirements. Similarly "Export Control Requirements" could be a paragraph under Requirements. We must not include application instructions. Now craft HTML. Structure:

        About the role

        Join the PacAero Team! PacAero Agawam (formerly Litron) is a precision manufacturer serving the aerospace, defense, medical, and industrial markets. Our Agawam facility specializes in precision CNC machining, RF/microwave package integration, laser welding, and advanced manufacturing for highly demanding applications. We are looking for an experienced CNC Lead who knows milling machining, understands setups, and can be the go-to technical resource on the shop floor. This is a hands-on working lead position — not a desk job and not a formal people-manager role. You'll work alongside our CNC team, help coordinate daily priorities, support complex setups and troubleshooting, mentor machinists, and keep work moving safely, efficiently, and to our quality standards. Strong CNC Milling Setup Experience Is Highly Preferred. This position located in Agawam, MA and is onsite, full-time days, Monday through Friday.

        But note schedule info also belongs maybe to Schedule section. We'll keep schedule info there. Better to split: About the role includes company description and role overview, but schedule maybe separate. Let's put schedule info in Schedule section. Thus About the role: company description and role overview (excluding schedule). We'll keep schedule line separate. Now Responsibilities: list duties. We need to extract each duty bullet. From CNC Setup, Operation & Troubleshooting: - Perform and support CNC milling setups, including 3-, 4-, and 5-axis machines - Conduct first-piece prove-outs and support first-piece inspections - Verify tooling, offsets, fixtures, workholding, and setup accuracy prior to production runs - Troubleshoot machining, tooling, setup, and process issues to keep production moving - Support machine changeovers and setup adjustments as needed - Operate CNC equipment and produce quality parts to specification - Read and interpret blueprints, work instructions, setup sheets, and machining documentation - Assist machinists with complex setups and technical machining issues - Help identify opportunities to reduce setup time, scrap, rework, and machine downtime From Team & Production Support: - Provide day-to-day technical direction and support to CNC machinists - Help coordinate machine assignments, job priorities, and workflow based on direction from the Machine Shop Manager - Serve as a go-to resource for machining and setup questions on the floor - Mentor and coach machinists on setups, tooling, machining techniques, and best practices - Support the training and development of new and less-experienced machinists - Reinforce established machining processes, work instructions, safety requirements, and quality expectations - Communicate production constraints, machining issues, and resource needs to the Machine Shop Manager - Lead by example and promote teamwork, accountability, and a strong shop-floor culture From Quality & Compliance: - Ensure machining activities comply with PacAero quality standards and customer requirements - Verify parts meet blueprint, GD&T, dimensional, and tolerance requirements - Perform in-process inspections and support First Article activities as needed - Identify and communicate quality concerns, nonconformances, or machining issues promptly - Work collaboratively with Quality and Engineering to resolve technical and production issues - Follow all company quality, safety, and operational procedures From Process & Operational Support: - Help maintain efficient workflow and machine utilization throughout the shift - Ensure tooling, fixtures, programs, and materials are prepared for scheduled work - Support setup consistency and standardized machining practices - Identify opportunities to improve cycle times, setups, tooling, and overall throughput - Assist with continuous improvement initiatives, including Lean and 5S efforts - Support production priorities and help remove obstacles that could impact delivery From Workplace Standards: - Maintain a clean, organized, and safe machining environment - Support 5S, workplace organization, and housekeeping standards - Promote safe machining practices and proper use of equipment and tooling - Work collaboratively with machinists, supervisors, Quality, Engineering, and other departments - Perform other related duties as assigned Now Requirements: include mandatory qualifications from "Qualifications" heading: - High School Diploma or GED required; technical or vocational training preferred - Minimum 5 years of CNC milling experience in aerospace, defense, or high-precision manufacturing - Strong hands-on CNC milling knowledge and machining fundamentals - Experience with multi-axis CNC milling equipment - Advanced ability to read and interpret blueprints, GD&T, and tight tolerances - Experience with CNC controls such as Haas, Okuma, or similar - Strong troubleshooting and machining problem-solving skills - Ability to provide technical direction and effectively support other machinists Also include Export Control Requirements: "This position is subject to U.S. export control regulations, including ITAR and EAR. Employment may be contingent upon the candidate's ability to comply with applicable export control laws and company policies." Also Work Environment & Physical Requirements: "Manufacturing floor environment with exposure to typical machine-shop noise, coolants, and metal chips Regular standing, walking, and handling of parts and tooling throughout the shift Ability to lift up to 40 lbs., with or without reasonable accommodation Overtime or schedule flexibility may occasionally be required based on production needs" We could combine these into a paragraph under Requirements. Now Qualifications: maybe Preferred Qualifications? But we already used Qualifications for mandatory. The heading "Qualifications" we used for mandatory; we still need a section for "Qualifications" (as per allowed headings). Could we put Preferred Qualifications there? The instruction: Use headings exactly as given. It didn't say we cannot have both mandatory and preferred under same heading; we can include both. But we already used "Qualifications" for mandatory; we could also include Preferred Qualifications under same heading. However we also have a separate "Skills" heading for skills & competencies. So we can put Preferred Qualifications under Qualifications as a sublist. Thus Qualifications section: include both mandatory and preferred? Might be redundant but okay. Better: Use Qualifications for mandatory qualifications (as we did). Then we need a Skills section for skills & competencies. Preferred Qualifications could be placed under Skills? But they are qualifications not skills. However we could incorporate them into Skills section as they are also qualifications. But we have a separate Skills heading; we could put both Skills & Competencies and Preferred Qualifications there? Might be messy. Alternative: Treat Qualifications heading as both mandatory and preferred (list both). Then Skills heading for Skills & Competencies. That seems acceptable. Thus Qualifications section will contain: - Mandatory qualifications (list) - Preferred qualifications (list) maybe as a sub-list. We'll output as
        • for each item, maybe separate groups with

          headings? But we cannot add extra headings besides the allowed ones. We can include

          paragraphs inside the section to introduce groups. That's allowed. Thus:

          Qualifications

          Required:

          • High School Diploma or GED required; technical or vocational training preferred
          • Minimum 5
