About The Position

We are seeking a CNC Machinist to manufacture precision parts and components for a diverse portfolio of engineered products. The role primarily involves operating CNC milling equipment; turning experience is strongly preferred. The machinist performs setups and changeovers and maintains tight tolerances through disciplined process control and in-process inspection. This is a hands-on shop-floor role for someone who values craftsmanship, works safely, and consistently delivers quality output with minimal supervision. Candidates with a range of experience, from trade-school graduates to seasoned machinists, are encouraged to apply. Compensation is commensurate with demonstrated capability. The listed base compensation is $22–$29 per hour, with a 10% shift differential. Both shifts run Monday through Thursday, four 10-hour days.
