Machinist I MF

Cooper Machinery Services Brand • Marshall, TX

9d • Onsite

About The Position

For nearly 200 years, the machines Cooper builds and services have powered the natural gas industry that heats homes, fuels industry, and keeps America moving. Every Cooper-Bessemer, AJAX, and Superior engine in the field started on a machinist's table — and in Marshall, Texas, that table is yours. As a Machinist II, you'll turn blueprints into precision parts that get legendary compression equipment back in the field, faster. If you take pride in tight tolerances, clean work, and a job done right the first time, we want to put you on the machine.

Requirements

• High school diploma or GED required.
• 1-2 years of machining experience — oil & gas, power, heavy equipment, or automation & controls background preferred.
• Skilled with precision measuring tools: dial and Vernier calipers, ID mics, depth mics, ball mics.
• Comfortable reading complex drawings and applying trade math on the shop floor.
• Able to lift 40+ lbs and handle a physically active shift — standing, bending, kneeling.
• Certified (or ready to certify) on forklift, pallet jack, and crane operation.
• Willing to work overtime, weekends, and holidays as production demands.
• Safety-focused, dependable, and a strong teammate who takes ownership of the outcome.

• Working knowledge of oilfield assemblies.

Responsibilities

• Machine one-off parts and tooling to spec on manual lathes, mills, and drills.

• Set up and independently run assigned machines, including holding fixtures, cutting tools, and offsets.
• Perform dimensional layout and inspection to confirm every part conforms to print.
• Deburr, stamp, and finish parts to the standard our customers expect.
• Keep your work area safe and clean — chips swept, oil disposed of, PPE on, every shift.
