CNC Machinist - 2nd Shift

Join our team as a CNC Machinist III and take your machining expertise to the next level in a precision-driven manufacturing environment. In this second-shift role (Monday–Friday, 3:00 p.m. – 11:30 p.m.), you'll earn $28–$35/hour while working with advanced CNC equipment to produce high-quality, tight-tolerance parts. This is an ideal opportunity for an experienced machinist with at least 3 years of CNC experience who is confident in setup, programming (G-code), and blueprint interpretation. You'll play a key role in optimizing processes, collaborating with engineering and quality teams, and ensuring products meet strict standards. If you bring strong technical skills, attention to detail, and a passion for precision manufacturing—with bonus points for CAD/CAM (Mastercam, Fusion 360) or industry experience in aerospace, automotive, or medical devices—you'll thrive in this role while contributing to continuous improvement and operational excellence.
