2nd Shift Lead CNC Machinist
Laborup
We’re partnering with a high-end precision manufacturer to hire an experienced Second Shift CNC Manager/Lead .
This is a unique opportunity for a senior machinist who wants more ownership without moving away from the technical side of manufacturing. The company is investing in and expanding its second-shift operation , and this person will play a major role in how that shift is built and operates long term.
This is not a desk-based supervisor position . You’ll be on the floor as the senior technical resource—helping machinists solve difficult problems, troubleshooting complex jobs, supporting quality, setting priorities, and keeping production moving.
The work consists of complex, tight-tolerance components for highly regulated industries , so we're looking for someone who has worked in an environment where machining knowledge, GD&T, inspection, and process discipline really matter.
Responsibilities:
- 7+ years of CNC machining experience in a precision manufacturing environment.
- Strong hands-on experience with CNC milling and turning .
- Experience with wire EDM strongly preferred.
- Advanced blueprint reading and GD&T knowledge.
- Strong understanding of dimensional inspection and quality requirements.
- Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot machining processes, setups, tooling, and dimensional issues.
- Previous experience leading, mentoring, or serving as a senior technical resource for other machinists.
- Aerospace, defense, medical, or similarly tight-tolerance manufacturing experience strongly preferred.
- Experience working within AS9100 or another highly regulated quality system is highly valuable.
- Comfortable being hands-on while also taking ownership of workflow, quality, and team performance.
- 10+ years of CNC machining experience
- Strong hands-on CNC milling and turning knowledge
- Experience troubleshooting complex setups and machining processes
- Advanced blueprint reading and GD&T
- Strong understanding of dimensional inspection and quality
- Experience with tight-tolerance, high-precision manufacturing
- Experience mentoring, leading, or serving as the technical resource for other machinists
- Exposure to additional precision processes such as wire EDM is highly valuable
- Experience in aerospace, defense, medical, or another highly regulated manufacturing environment is preferred
- Very competitive medical, dental, and vision insurance
- 401(k) with company matching
- Paid time off
- Life and disability insurance
- HSA and flexible spending account options
- Bonus potential
- Professional development and advancement opportunities
