Randstad

CNC Machinist Wanted: Turn Raw Metal into Mission-Critical Masterpieces!

Are you a wizard with G-code? Do you look at a block of titanium or high-nickel alloy and see the future of aerospace, defense, or high-tech innovation? If holding .0001" tolerances is your love language, we have the ultimate playground for your skills.

We are a premier nationwide tight-tolerance manufacturing leader producing complex, high-precision components for the world's most demanding industries. We don't just cut metal-we engineer the future.

What You'll Be Doing (The Cool Stuff)
  • Master 5 & 6-Axis Beasts: Set up, operate, and maintain high-speed CNC milling and turning centers.
  • Bring Blueprints to Life: Decode complex blueprints and GD&T specs to create flight-ready, mission-critical parts.
  • Innovate & Experiment: Tame unproven setup sheets and perform complex, varied machining for prototype and experimental projects.
  • Dial It In: Adjust feeds, speeds, offsets, and tooling like a seasoned pro to hit pinpoint accuracy every single time.
  • Collaborate with Top Minds: Work alongside lead engineers, programmers, and quality inspectors to solve tricky machining challenges.
What You Bring to the Table
  • Experience: 5+ years of hands-on CNC experience pushing multi-axis machines (5-6 axis experience required).
  • Precision Toolkit: Mastery with calipers, micrometers, and precision inspection tools.
  • Blueprint Fluency: Ability to read G-code, tool paths, and aerospace-level engineering drawings.
  • Problem Solver Mindset: Math whiz capabilities with fractions, geometry, and basic shop calculations.
  • Team-First Attitude: Great communication, eye for detail, and a commitment to keeping a safe, spotless shop floor.
Why You'll Love Working Here
  • Pay Rate: $24.00 - $45.00 / hour (commensurate with experience).
  • Top-Tier Tech: Work in a state-of-the-art facility featuring cutting-edge multi-axis equipment, robotics, and automation.
  • Growth & Support: Ongoing skill development, tuition support, and career advancement opportunities.
  • Comprehensive Benefits: Health/dental/vision coverage, generous PTO, paid holidays, and 401(k).
