Precision CNC and Manual Machining Specialist

$28 - $36 per hour

American Pulverizer Equipment Company

Day-in-the-life in St. Louis, MO

From the first blueprint you study to the last dimension you verify, your day revolves around precision. At our St. Louis, MO facility, you’ll work with advanced manual and CNC machine tools to craft high-quality components. You’ll collaborate with teammates who value craftsmanship, lean into problem-solving, and take pride in doing things right the first time.

What you’ll do

  • Set up and run a variety of equipment—manual lathes, manual mills, and CNC machines—to produce parts to specification.
  • Interpret engineering drawings, blueprints, and job specifications to plan machining operations and select tooling.
  • Dial in offsets, adjust feeds and speeds, and monitor operations to maintain accuracy, surface finish, and throughput.
  • Perform routine machine maintenance and troubleshoot issues as they arise to minimize downtime.
  • Keep your work area orderly and safe, following established protocols and best practices at all times.
  • Partner with peers to refine setups, improve processes, and boost productivity.
  • Record production information and maintain clear, accurate documentation of work performed.

What you’ll bring

  • High school diploma or equivalent; additional technical training or a machining certificate is a plus.
  • Demonstrated experience as a machinist with a strong grasp of machining fundamentals.
  • Fluency in reading and interpreting technical drawings and blueprints.
  • Familiarity with CNC programming and operation is highly desirable.
  • Meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to top-tier quality.
  • Strong troubleshooting ability and comfort working both independently and as part of a team.
  • Solid knowledge of safety practices and regulations in a manufacturing setting.

If you thrive in a collaborative environment, enjoy tackling challenges head-on, and want to work with state-of-the-art equipment, we’d love to connect.
