Job Description

Industrial Millwright / Mechanic 
Location: Addison, IL
Pay: $40 – $50/hour
Schedule: 4 days per week, 5:30 AM – 2:30 PM (5–10 hours of overtime per week)
Why This Role Stands Out
This role is open due to a recent retirement and is ideal for someone who thrives in a hands-on environment and enjoys solving mechanical problems. You’ll be a key player in the maintenance team, taking ownership of machining work that keeps production running smoothly.
This is a true manual machinist position—focused on troubleshooting, fabricating parts, and keeping older production equipment in good shape without relying on automation or CNC. If you're comfortable working on a team and like the idea of a 4-day workweek with consistent overtime, this is the place for you.
What You’ll Be Doing

• Fabricate and repair machine parts using manual Bridgeport mills, lathes, and other shop equipment
• Troubleshoot and rebuild mechanical components on roll formers, presses, and production machinery
• Work without blueprints when needed—reverse engineer parts based on what’s broken
• Collaborate with the maintenance team to keep production moving without delays
• Jump in when machines go down—you're the one who figures it out and gets it running again
• Maintain and organize the toolroom and machining area

What You Bring

• 2+ years of experience as a manual machinist or millwright in a production or fabrication setting
• Proficiency with mills, lathes, and manual machine tools (no CNC required)
• Strong mechanical troubleshooting skills, especially on older or custom-built equipment
• Ability to fabricate parts with or without drawings
• Comfortable working independently and making decisions on the spot
• Willing to put in some overtime when a machine needs attention

Ideal Fit

• Roll-up-your-sleeves kind of person
• Thrives in a role where every day is different
• Takes pride in figuring things out without needing step-by-step instructions
• Wants a stable, low-drama environment where your skills are appreciated
• Likes a 4-day workweek but isn’t afraid to stay late when things break

Perks & Benefits

• Full health, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k) with company match
• Paid time off and holidays
• Stable, family-owned company that’s been around for over 50 years
• Team-first culture where people support each other and value real craftsmanship
