About H. Loeb Corporation

H. Loeb Corporation is a job-shop manufacturer in the Dartmouth / New Bedford area of Massachusetts. We diecut, CNC route, and produce custom foam packaging, primarily for the lighting industry. We're ISO 9001:2015 certified, owner-led, and have reinvested over $2 million into equipment since 2008. We're growing — 20 to 30 percent a year — and we hire people who want to grow with us.

The role

We’re hiring an entry level CNC operator — Level 1 (Basic, $17–$20/hour) for candidates new to CNC or to CNC Routers

You’ll work on our Routers (ShopSabre, Gerber), Zünd Cutter, and Atom CNC, cutting plastics, foam, and rubber primarily for the lighting industry. We have a defined three-level career path that goes from Basic ($17) all the way to Advanced ($25+) — so where you start is not where you stay.

What the work looks like

• Set up and operate CNC machines: load the job, run the machine, inspect parts, remove finished work.
• Read drawings, use calipers, hit the tolerances customers require.
• Maintain machines, keep your workspace clean, manage dust collection.
• Stop the machine when something’s wrong — don’t run through a problem.

What you need to bring

• For Level 1: high school diploma, able to read a tape measure (to 1/16") and do basic shop math, able to lift 50 lbs, and willing to learn. No CNC experience required.

Preferred

• Any CNC experience — Routers, ShopSabre, Gerber, Zünd, Atom CNC.
• VCarve, Artpath, or Composer programming experience (Level 2 plus).
• Construction or trades background. Construction experience counts as manufacturing experience here — if you’ve framed houses, finished trim, or worked on a job site, you already know how to read a tape, work with your hands, and follow a plan. Many of the best CNC operators come from the trades.
• Manufacturing or warehouse experience.
• ISO 9001 environment experience.
• Forklift experience.

Physical requirements

• Comfortably lift and carry 50 pounds throughout an 8-hour shift.
• On your feet most of the day in a manufacturing environment.
• Use of hands and fine motor control for measurement and machine adjustment.
• Comfortable working around dust, machine noise, and moving equipment.

What we offer

• A workplace where work shouldn't add stress to your life. The owner tells every new hire that on day one — and he means it.
• A clear three-level career growth path for CNC operators. Where you start is not where you stay. Every operator has a defined route to higher pay and more responsibility.
• Five values we work by: Honesty, Learning, Opportunity, Excitement, Building.
• An owner who reinvests in the shop and in people — over $2M in new equipment since 2008.
• ISO 9001:2015 quality discipline — documented processes, real procedures.

Universal expectations (every level, every employee)

• Work efficiency — getting jobs done well and on time.
• Attitude — willingness to learn, willingness to be coached, respect for the team.
• Attendance — reliable, on time, communicating in advance when something comes up.
• Communication — surfacing problems early, asking when unsure.
• Safety — proper PPE, hazard awareness, using the E-stop when needed.
