We don't just talk about progress and innovation here – we make it happen, with our customers, where we work and live. Together, we are building a better world, so we can all enjoy living in it.

We are hiring multiple Machining Technicians to support our operations in East Peoria, IL! Come join the team that is solving our customers toughest challenges!

Position Summary:

The Machining Technician provides flexible machining support across the business while serving as a technical resource for employees. The position helps maintain safe, consistent production across multiple machines and work areas.

This role supports employee onboarding and skill development, reinforces standardized work, shares machining knowledge and best practices, and supports enterprise capabilities inside and outside of Caterpillar. The successful candidate will be an experienced machinist who adapts quickly, communicates effectively, and builds the skills and confidence of others.

Essential Responsibilities:

Machining and Production Support

Read and interpret blueprints, engineering drawings, work instructions, process documentation, and specifications.
Knowledge of appropriate tooling, fixtures, gauges, and precision measuring equipment.
Verify that completed parts meet dimensional, quality, and workmanship requirements.
Suggest approved machine adjustments and troubleshoot routine machining, tooling, and process issues.
Support production priorities and move between assignments as business needs change.
Work collaboratively with operations leadership, manufacturing engineering, quality, maintenance, tooling, and other support functions.
Identify and communicate safety, quality, equipment, tooling, or process concerns promptly.
Participate in continuous improvement activities focused on safety, quality, delivery, cost, and productivity.
Apply knowledge of CNC programming, machining processes, and machine controls to optimize production performance, troubleshoot process issues, and implement machining parameter adjustments to maintain quality and throughput.
Support the integration and operation of automated machining cells, including CNC equipment, robotics, sensors, and material handling systems, to achieve production, quality, and safety objectives.

Employee Training and Development

Provide technical guidance to employees on machining processes, equipment operation, safety expectations, quality requirements, and standardized work.
Provide structured, hands-on instruction using approved training materials and processes.
Ability to communicate proper machine setup, operation, inspection, material handling, and documentation practices.
Reinforce safe work practices, quality standards, and established operating procedures.
Evaluate employee understanding through observation, demonstration, and established qualification methods.
Document training progress, completed qualifications, skill gaps, and additional development needs.
Provide timely, respectful, and constructive feedback to employees.
Adjust training methods to accommodate different levels of experience and learning styles.
Partner with operations leadership to develop training plans and prioritize qualification needs.
Assist with cross-training experienced employees to improve workforce flexibility.
Recommend improvements to training materials, work instructions, and qualification processes.
Serve as a knowledgeable and approachable technical resource for employees.

Safety and Quality Expectations

Follow all company safety policies, procedures, and personal protective equipment requirements.
Reinforce safe machine operation, including lockout tagout and machine guarding requirements.

Promote personal accountability, hazard recognition, and defect prevention.
Ensure that training and production activities follow approved processes and quality control requirements.
Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work area.

Supplier Support

Ability to support enterprise constraints, both inside and outside of CAT.

Leadership Expectations Although this position does not have direct reports, the Machining Technician is expected to demonstrate leadership through technical expertise, professional conduct, adaptability, and the ability to positively influence others.

Model company values and workplace expectations.
Treat employees consistently and respectfully.
Build trust with both new and experienced employees.
Communicate clearly across shifts, departments, and levels of the organization.
Maintain confidentiality and exercise sound judgment.
Address performance or behavioral concerns through the appropriate supervisor rather than independently administering discipline.
Support a positive, inclusive, and team-oriented work environment.

Required Qualifications

Five or more years of machining experience, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
Knowledge of proper set up and operation of machining equipment.
