If you’re a CNC machinist who enjoys setting up machines, dialing in parts, and working in a clean, well-run shop, this is a solid opportunity. You’ll work with modern CNC equipment, have consistent first-shift hours, and be trusted with hands-on machining work rather than just pushing buttons.

• Make offsets, tool changes, and minor program edits as needed
• Read and interpret blueprints, technical drawings, and work instructions
• Inspect finished parts using standard measuring tools to ensure quality
• Troubleshoot machining or setup issues to keep production running smoothly
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safety-focused work area
• Communicate with leads and supervisors on production or quality concerns

What we’re looking for

Required:

• Hands-on experience with CNC lathes and/or mills
• Comfortable with machine setup and part changeovers
• Ability to read blueprints and understand machining tolerances
• Strong attention to detail and quality
• Mechanical aptitude and problem-solving skills
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team

Preferred but not required:

• Programming experience or the ability to make minor program edits
• Experience with both small and large CNC equipment
• High school diploma or equivalent

What you get

• $23 to $28 per hour based on experience
• Stable, full-time first shift
• Opportunity to work with advanced CNC machinery
• Supportive shop environment with long-term growth potential

Apply today if you’re looking for a CNC role where your skills are valued and your workday is consistent.
