Aerospace CNC Mill/Turn Specialist

$25 - $35 per hour

TekPro Engineering

Aerospace & Precision Manufacturing | Downers Grove, IL

Step onto a shop floor where the parts you craft help keep aircraft flying. On our second shift, you’ll kick off your evening by loading programs, dialing in offsets, and running a first-article check before moving into steady production. You’ll read detailed blueprints, verify critical dimensions with precision instruments, and keep quality and throughput on target—all within a stable, union environment designed for long-term growth.

The Role & Schedule

  • Position: CNC Machinist (2nd Shift)
  • Pay: $25.00–$35.00 per hour plus a 10% shift differential
  • Overtime: 10–15 hours available weekly

What You’ll Handle

  • Set up and run CNC milling and/or turning centers for precision aerospace components
  • Read and interpret blueprints, job travelers, and machining specifications
  • Perform tooling changes, set tool lengths, and adjust wear/geometry offsets
  • Conduct in-process inspections and document results to meet aerospace standards
  • Meet daily quality and production goals while maintaining a clean, safe work area

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • Union environment with clear paths for advancement
  • Frequent opportunities for pay increases
  • Stable aerospace workload and competitive compensation
  • 10% shift differential and strong overtime availability
  • Long-term career growth in a precision-focused setting

What You Bring

  • Hands-on experience with CNC milling and/or turning
  • CNC setup capability preferred (fixturing, tooling, first-piece)
  • Ability to read blueprints and use precision measurement tools
  • Strong attention to detail and commitment to quality
  • Background in aerospace or precision manufacturing is a plus
