CNC Machinist – 2nd Shift (4x10s) Precision Manufacturing – Complex Parts – Growth Opportunity

We’re seeking a productive, quality-focused CNC Machinist for 2nd shift, working four 10-hour days. This role is ideal for someone who takes ownership from setup through inspection, continually sharpens their skills, and supports a strong team culture on the shop floor.

What You’ll Do

• Safely set up and operate CNC mills and lathes to produce precision parts to print.
• Read and interpret work orders, blueprints, and GD&T to plan tooling, setups, and machining operations.
• Perform machining operations as assigned, meet or beat job schedules, and correctly use the timekeeping system.
• Inspect parts using precision measuring tools; complete required inspection forms and clear turnover notes for the next shift.
• Identify and report nonconformances, tool or machine issues, and safety concerns immediately.
• Keep machines and work areas clean, organized, and stocked with the correct tooling and fixtures.
• Assist, guide, and help train apprentices and lower-level machinists; contribute to a positive, team-oriented environment.
• Continuously improve your own skills in print reading, CNC programming, geometric tolerances, and machine setups.

What You Bring

• High school diploma or GED; additional technical/machining training is a plus.
• 2+ years of machining experience (CNC mills and/or lathes); strong fundamental setup and operation skills.
• Solid blueprint reading skills, including basic GD&T and machining math.
• Ability to follow written and verbal instructions and maintain accurate, legible documentation.
• Strong attention to detail, quality mindset, and reliability—especially on a 2nd shift schedule.
• Willingness to learn Mastercam and more advanced CNC programming techniques over time.
• Commitment to safety, teamwork, and continuous improvement.
