• Document inspections, offsets, and job progress accurately

• Work closely with other machinists and quality personnel to meet production goals

What We’re Looking For

• 4+ years of CNC machining experience (lathe, mill, or both)

• Strong blueprint reading and measuring skills

• Ability to work independently and manage setups

• Solid mechanical aptitude and attention to detail

• Comfortable in a high-mix machining environment

• Trade school, apprenticeship, or technical training is a plus

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Multiple CNC openings due to continued growth

• Flexible 4-day or 5-day workweek options

• Paid overtime opportunities

• Competitive hourly pay with advancement potential

• Comprehensive benefits once hired by the client

• Long-term career paths into lead or senior machinist roles
