Now Hiring: CNC Machinist (First Shift)

6:00 AM – 4:30 PM | Monday-Thursday OR Tuesday-Friday

Four 10’s = Solid Work/Life Balance! 

(Overtime available on your off days!) 

Are you the go-to problem solver in the shop? The one who understands interrelated dimensions? If you're fluent in CNC machining, precision is your love language, and “within tolerance” means dead-on, we want you on our team!  No rotating shifts, no surprises – just a steady, reliable day shift schedule. 

What You'll Be Doing:

• Run CNC lathes, mills, and multi-axis equipment like a pro, making adjustments as needed
• Machine parts from various Stainless Steel-based materials
• Interpret blueprints and specs like a roadmap to perfect parts.
• Own the first piece runs and set-ups, then take it away in production
• Use micrometers, calipers, and other precision tools like extensions of your own hands.

What We’re Looking For:

• 6–9 years of experience running the show in a CNC Machinist role.
• Deep knowledge of CNC equipment, shop tools, and metalworking best practices.
• Someone who treats quality standards and ISO like a code of honor.
• A cool head under pressure and an eye for clean work

Perks & Culture:

• Day Shift = No midnight madness.
• Work alongside folks who take pride in their craft.
• Clean, organized, climate-controlled, and safety-first environment.
• Monthly catered luncheons

This isn’t your average punch-in, punch-out shop gig. We're looking for someone as serious about machining as we are about quality.

Apply today and take your CNC career to the next axis.
