The posting
HEAVY MACHINING · MARINE & DEFENSE · DAY SHIFT
Riverside, Missouri · Full-Time · Day Shift · $25 – $35 / hour + full benefits
THE SHORT VERSION
Intercon is a heavy machinery manufacturer, and we need a CNC Machinist who likes making chips fly and making real progress every shift. We fabricate, machine, paint, and assemble products for the commercial marine, defense, and mining industries — parts that end up holding tug-and-barge units together in open water and supporting U.S. Navy ships.
This is real machining, not fixture work. You will run large horizontal mills, setting large workpieces per work instructions — 3-point setups, parts held in a relaxed state, the kind of work that takes a machinist who actually knows what they are doing.
WHY YOU WOULD WANT THIS JOB
■ The work is real. Intercon has been building heavy equipment in Riverside since 1958. Our ATB couplers hold ocean-going tug-and-barge units together in open water and account for half of all US fuel movement by ocean. Our propulsion equipment supports U.S. Navy destroyers, aircraft carriers, and submarines.
■ Real machining skill. This is not fixture work. You will set large workpieces using 3-point setups and parts held in a relaxed state, following the work instructions provided.
■ Stability. Nearly 70 years in business and a large backlog in marine and defense work.
■ Full benefits: health, dental, and healthcare FSA; supplemental insurance through Aflac; 401(k) with employer contribution; and paid time off.
■ Pay that reflects real skill. $25 – $35 per hour, based on your qualifications.
WHAT YOU WILL ACTUALLY BE DOING
■ Performing all machine operating duties on large horizontal mills and related equipment
■ Reviewing drawings and working from them accurately
■ CNC programming and editing
■ Setting up large workpieces according to provided work instructions, and making improvements when needed
■ Maintaining a clean and safe work environment
Requirements
■ Experience operating large horizontal mills, including setting up large workpieces from provided work instructions
■ Familiarity with 3-point setup and setting up parts in a relaxed state — this is not fixture work
■ Familiar with older Fanuc controls (18M) and the newer 30iB control
■ Ability to read and understand drawings
■ Ability to read ID/OD micrometers and calipers
■ A solid understanding of the fundamentals of setting up workpieces
■ Ability to work on your own and stay self-motivated
■ Experience with Okuma a plus
THE HONEST PART
This is shop floor work. Standard PPE is required, and you will be around heavy machinery and large-scale parts for the length of your shift. The shop is hot in July and cold in January — this is heavy manufacturing, not a climate-controlled office.
If you already know your way around a large horizontal mill and take pride in getting a large workpiece set up right, this is a place where that skill is valued and paid accordingly.
This is a full-time, safety sensitive position. Starting pay $25 – $35 per hour, based on qualifications.
Benefits
Full benefits: health, dental, vision, and healthcare HSA and FSA; supplemental insurance through Aflac; 401(k) with employer contribution; and paid time off.
