Varo Builds manufactures fully finished floor, wall, and roof assemblies for commercial and light industrial buildings. We're hiring a CNC Technician to own our hot wire foam cutting operation  the machine that shapes every insulation core we produce. This is a foundational role on a growing production line, not a button-pushing job.

What you'll do

Program and operate a CNC hot wire machine cutting EPS insulation cores

Take shop drawings through to toolpaths  nesting, profile generation, kerf compensation

Dial in wire temperature, feed rate, and tension to hold dimensional tolerance across varying foam densities

Perform first-article and in-process dimensional checks; troubleshoot deviations

Handle routine machine maintenance  wire replacement, tension, alignment, calibration

Manage material yield and minimize offcut waste

Grow into programming and operating additional CNC equipment as we add capacity

What you bring

CNC operating or programming experience  any platform. We run Mach 3; if you've run Fanuc, Haas, Centroid, LinuxCNC, or similar, you'll pick it up quickly and we'll train you

Comfort with 2D and 3D drawing software. We use CorelDRAW and Fusion 360; equivalent experience (AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Illustrator, Rhino) transfers fine

Ability to read G-code and troubleshoot a program, not just run it

Solid grasp of dimensional tolerancing and measurement

Hot wire or foam cutting experience is a strong asset  sign making, architectural foam, prop and scenery work, composite plugs, or RC/aerospace foam cores all count

$30 to $40 per hour plus overtime

Health and dental benefits after 90 days

Year-round indoor work in a climate-controlled facility
