CNC Operator
About The Position
Mural Group Industrial is partnering with a precision CNC shop in Hamilton, Ohio to place a Machine Operator on second shift. This is a direct hire opportunity at a growing aerospace machining operation that runs complex, tight-tolerance components on serious equipment. Second shift is a hard requirement: 1pm to 10pm, Monday through Friday. You will work alongside a senior machinist to keep production moving on second shift. This is not a pure load-and-unload seat. You will monitor running jobs, catch issues before they become scrap, make basic adjustments, and use good judgment when something looks off. The shop runs Okuma LB-series lathes, Makino and Matsuura 5-axis mills, Mori Seiki NT mill-turn, and Brother mill centers -- complex equipment on demanding aerospace parts. If you want to develop toward machinist-level skills, this environment will get you there.
Requirements
- 1 to 4 years of CNC machine operation experience in a production environment
- Ability to monitor a running job and recognize when something is wrong -- not just keep the machine fed
- Reliability: this is a two-person second shift and call-outs affect production immediately
- Comfort working second shift (1pm to 10pm) consistently long term
- Local to the Hamilton-Cincinnati-Dayton area and able to work on-site full time
Nice To Haves
- Experience on Okuma, Fanuc, Haas, Mazak, Mitsubishi, or similar CNC controls
- Familiarity with basic GD&T and precision measurement tools
- Background in aerospace, defense, or precision contract machining
- Any exposure to automation-assisted or lights-out machining cells
- Willingness to grow toward setup and machinist capabilities over time
Responsibilities
- Monitor CNC machines during production runs and respond appropriately when something looks off
- Support the machinist on shift with job changeovers, tool changes, and in-process checks
- Perform basic dimensional checks using calipers, micrometers, and hand measurement tools
- Assist with loading, unloading, and part handling without disrupting machine cycles
- Support automation cell operation and lights-out machining as needed
- Maintain accurate production records and documentation in the shop ERP system
- Keep your work area clean, organized, and safe
Benefits
- Direct hire placement
- Actively growing off a major aerospace production contract
- Real opportunity to develop machinist-level skills working alongside senior machinists on complex equipment
