The posting

Overview

We're hiring a Machinist to join our small, hands-on machine shop team.

We’re open to machinists from both manual and CNC backgrounds, but strong manual machining fundamentals are important. You’ll work across manual, conventional, and CNC equipment while building your skills in setups, workholding, troubleshooting, code editing, and eventually CAM programming.

This is a role for someone who wants to become a more capable, independent machinist—not just run the same production cycle all day.

What makes this role different:

  • Learn the full machining process: Build experience with setups, tooling, jigs and fixtures, machine adjustments, inspection, and troubleshooting, not just machine operation.
  • Grow your CNC skills: Whether you have limited CNC experience or several years, you’ll have opportunities to develop further into code editing, advanced setups, and eventually CAM programming.
  • Become a more independent machinist: Take on greater ownership over time, with the goal of being able to set up, run, troubleshoot, and inspect your own work from start to finish

Compensation

  • $24–$28 / hr
  • Additional earning potential as your machining, setup, and programming capabilities grow

Shift

  • 1st shift
  • Monday - Friday

Responsibilities

  • Manual & conventional machining: Operate manual lathes, mills, and conventional/special-purpose machines as a core part of the role.
  • Setups: Install and adjust chucks, collets, tooling, and indicating vises.
  • Print reading: Study blueprints and sketches to determine dimensions and tolerances.
  • Shop math: Calculate setup requirements using geometry and trigonometry.
  • Inspection: Verify settings by measuring first-run parts and sample workpieces.
  • CNC cross-training: Learn to enter zero and reference points, offsets, and conditional switches; work toward editing and troubleshooting G&M code at the controller.
  • CAM exposure: Build familiarity with our in-house CAM programs (Fusion 360) and part programs as your training progresses.
  • Troubleshooting: Detect malfunctions, adjust controls, and replace worn tools.
  • Preventive maintenance: Perform routine maintenance on machines as required.
  • Flexibility: Jump between manual, conventional, and (as you train up) CNC equipment as production needs shift.

Requirements

Qualifications

Required

Preferred

  • Associate's degree or 2–3 years machining experience
  • Prior experience on Fanuc controls
  • Experience with CAM programming software
  • Experience running manual and conventional machines
  • Overhead crane or fork truck experience
  • Thread chasing and knurling experience
  • Certificate from a technical machining program

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
