CNC Machinist - Weekend Shift

Coastal Machine & Supply, Inc. • Carencro, LA

4d • Onsite

About The Position

Coastal Machine & Supply is an AS9100-certified precision contract manufacturer specializing in large, complex turning and 5-axis milling for the Defense, Space, and Oil & Gas industries. We are hiring machinists at every level for the weekend shift. The schedule is Friday-Sunday, 5:00 AM – 5:00 PM, where you work 36 hours and are paid for 40. There is a 20% shift differential premium. This is an hourly, non-exempt, overtime eligible position. Coastal runs four platform families: CNC Lathes (Large-envelope turning, long-cycle, heavy material), Mill-Turns (Multi-tasking turn/mill centers — sub-spindle, live tooling, B-axis), 5-Axis Mills (Simultaneous and 3+2 machining of complex geometry), and 3/4-Axis Mills (Prismatic and rotary work). Depth on one family matters more than surface familiarity with all four. Mill-Turn and 5-Axis setup experience carries a premium. Work orders, routings, and setup documentation are managed in ProShop. Machine performance is monitored through Datanomix. Every machinist at Coastal has the authority to stop a job on a quality concern, on any shift, without waiting for approval. We would rather lose a part than ship a bad one.
