Job Description

Manual Bridge Mill Machinist

About the Role

Join a team that takes pride in precision. You'll run large-format bridge and gantry mills, turning custom components, weldments, and big castings into finished parts held to tight tolerances. The work is hands-on, and your accuracy, problem-solving, and craftsmanship show up directly in the quality of what we ship.

What You'll Do Machine and Inspect
  • Set up and run manual bridge mills from complex blueprints and GD&T specifications
  • Mill and bore large workpieces to tight tolerances
  • Check your work in process and at final inspection with micrometers, vernier calipers, dial indicators, and depth gauges
  • Dial in speeds and feeds to keep large-part work efficient
Set Up and Maintain
  • Design and build custom fixturing that makes each job run smoother
  • Use overhead cranes and rigging to position and handle heavy components safely
  • Troubleshoot and maintain feed and spindle systems to keep machines running
Keep Growing
  • Sharpen your trade in an environment built around continuous learning
  • Work on complex, one-off parts instead of repetitive cycles
  • Stay engaged with a steady mix of low-volume custom builds
  • Take on new technical challenges every week
What You Bring Required
  • At least 1 year of hands-on experience running bridge or large-format mills
  • Ability to read complex blueprints and GD&T specifications
  • Skill with precision measuring tools and techniques
  • Overhead crane and rigging experience
  • Working knowledge of structural steel, cast iron, and aluminum tooling plate
  • Close attention to detail and a commitment to quality
Nice to Have
  • Machining or precision measurement certifications
  • Experience with particular machine brands or control systems
  • Familiarity with laser alignment tools and advanced measurement techniques
  • Background in preventive maintenance and troubleshooting
Position Details
  • Full-time
  • $30–$33/hour, depending on experience and qualifications
Benefits Insurance
  • PPO health plan with 50% of employee premiums paid by the employer; dependent coverage available at shared cost
  • Optional dental coverage (employee-paid)
  • Vision coverage available
Time Off and Financial
  • Two weeks of paid vacation each year
  • Annual holiday bonus based on company performance
  • Employer-funded profit-sharing plan with a 100% company contribution
  • 401(k) available after one year of employment
Growth and Perks
  • Tuition reimbursement for job-related education and professional development
  • Employee discounts through our payroll provider
How to Apply

Send your resume, and if applicable, tell us about:

  • Your years of bridge mill experience
  • The machine brands or controls you've worked with
  • Your milling and boring work (materials and complexity)
  • Any relevant certifications or specialized training
