It’s common for companies to expect experience working with CNC machines in some capacity before becoming a CNC Machinist. A common pathway is to start as a CNC Operator and work into a CNC Machinist role. Hiring managers often prefer people with at least one year of experience working with the equipment. You might also hire for different levels of CNC Machinists with increasing duties. For instance, your highest level might supervise and train Machinists in lower levels. Your experience requirements will likely be greater for higher levels. If you’re writing a CNC Machinist job description for a position using highly specialized machines or challenging projects, you might look for someone with experience in those areas instead of general CNC work.
