CNC Machinist 2nd Shift

What You'll Own

Run assigned Mazak 5-axis horizontal or vertical CNC machines through a full 2nd-shift production cycle, hitting cycle time targets on repeat jobs within 60 days.

Perform in-process inspection using calipers, micrometers, and bore gauges; escalate any out-of-tolerance condition immediately and every time, without exception.

Read prints and router sheets accurately from day one; log downtime and reason codes correctly each shift.

Recognize tool wear before failure and flag it proactively. (Level II: independently troubleshoot chatter, dimensional drift, and tool life drops using logic, not guesswork.) Contribute zero MRB or containment events from operator error; catch potential nonconformances before they happen.

Level II only:

Set up new jobs from print and router with minimal guidance; mentor a Level I machinist on your machine and hold tolerances in the +/-0.0005" range accounting for thermal drift and machine-specific quirks.

What You Bring

Must-have (Machinist I):

Ability to operate CNC machine tools safely and independently.

Basic measurement skills: calipers, micrometers, bore gauges.

Ability to read and follow traveler work instructions and engineering prints.

High school diploma, GED, trade/vocational certificate, or equivalent hands-on experience.

Availability for 2nd shift (nights).

Must-have (Machinist II, in addition to the above): 3+ years of CNC machining experience with demonstrated setup capability.

Ability to interpret GD&T callouts including true position and bonus tolerance logic.

Experience troubleshooting tool wear, dimensional drift, and surface finish issues without supervision.

Track record of holding tight tolerances (+/-0.0005" or better) in a production environment.

Nice to have (either level):

Experience on Mazak 5-axis horizontals or DMU-style multi-axis machines.

Familiarity with Eurotech (or similar) CNC lathes.

Background in aerospace or defense manufacturing.

Experience running lights-out or automated pallet/robotic loader systems.

Pay and Schedule $23.00 - $37.50/hr ($47,840 - $78,000/yr) depending on level and experience. The range already includes the 2nd-shift differential. 2nd shift (nights), Monday through Friday.

Benefits include medical insurance, 401(k) with company match, and paid time off.
