Location: San Fernando Vallely, CA


Starting on 1st shift ( 5:30 am- 6 am or earlier if OT needed ) for training, differential applied when moved to 2nd shift - Second Shift Hours are Monday-Friday, 2:00 PM -10:30 PM. Overtime may adjust start time (e.g., 3:00 PM for extended overtime) and/or extend end time. Flexibility to work overtime and weekends as required.



ITAR US Person Required - HS Degree or GED Required

Precision Grinder Level I: $27.38/hourly to $35.35/hourly

Precision Grinder Level II: $35.16/hourly to $45.28/hourly

Precision Grinder Level III: $40.10/hourly to $50.18/hourly

• Second Shift Hours are Monday-Friday, 2:00 PM -10:30 PM. Overtime may adjust start time (e.g., 3:00 PM for extended overtime) and/or extend end time. Flexibility to work overtime and weekends as required.
• All second shift openings are eligible for $2 shift differential - To be clear - candidates hired for second shift will begin their training on first shift. It is rare for someone to be trained directly on second shift as we typically don't have trainers available during that time - unless there's a unique situation where someone is available to train them on second shift.
• Please assume that all second shift hires will be start on first shift for training - they will not receive the differential during this training period.
• First shift typically starts between 5:30am - 6am, and if there is any OT needed, they are expected to come in earlier.

*** HLG does outside grinding on parts so we are looking for someone who has outside (OD) grinding background . If they have OD experience, they will either have done cylindrical or centerless grinding. MUST HAVE - OD Grinding . Cylindrical is highly preferred . Most OD grinders will have centerless so we will train them in cylindrical. Grinding parts on Centers.
** From Hiring Manager - For precision grinding, it's also helpful to note we run a number of manual OD grinders as well CNC's. Studer S33, S11, and S20 (manual) are very popular machines so that experience would immediately translate.
