Tool & Die Machinist (Manual + CNC) – Direct Hire

Location: Canonsburg, PA
Shift: Monday–Friday, 7:00 AM – 3:00 PM
Pay: $36+hr (based on experience)
Overtime: Available

Overview

TOPS Staffing is partnering with a growing custom manufacturing company in the Canonsburg area to hire an experienced Tool & Die Machinist. This role is ideal for a high-level machinist who enjoys tooling work, problem-solving, and hands-on craftsmanship—but is also open to supporting CNC production when tooling demands are lighter. You won’t be stuck running parts all day—this is a true hybrid role where your skillset will be fully utilized.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Build, repair, and modify tooling, dies, and fixtures (primarily manual machining)
• Operate manual mills and lathes for precision tooling work
• Support CNC machining operations during production needs
• Perform machining operations including drilling, tapping, countersinking, and face milling
• Read and interpret blueprints, prints, and technical drawings
• Inspect finished work using precision measuring tools (calipers, micrometers, etc.)
• Run 1–2 machines at a time in a team-oriented shop layout

Shop Equipment & Environment:

• Mix of manual and CNC equipment
• CNC Machines: Haas (mills), Doosan (lathe)
• Programming/Software: GibbsCAM
• Clean, organized, and safety-focused job shop environment
• Work will vary so you wont be bored in this position, work will change based on repairs of tooling and dies that need attention and from time to time there will be some production machining mixed in.

What We’re Looking For:

• Strong background in tooling, die work, or fixture building
• Experience with both manual and CNC machining
• Ability to troubleshoot, repair, and improve tooling
• Comfortable stepping into production machining when needed
• Experience with mills and lathes (both required)
• Ability to work independently and manage priorities in a job shop setting

Qualifications:

• 5+ years of experience doing tool & die work and production machining required
• Machining apprenticeship, trade school, or equivalent experience preferred
• Journeyman-level experience is a plus

Company Benefits include:

• 15 Days PTO starting Day 1
• Low-cost medical plans with low deductibles
• Safe Harbor 401(k) with company contribution
• Company-paid life and AD&D insurance (including family coverage)
• Dental and Vision coverage
• Paid lunches and breaks
• Paid parental leave
• Referral bonus program

Why This Role Stands Out

• True Tool & Die-focused position (not just production machining)
• Opportunity to work on custom, high-skill projects
• Stable company with long-term growth
• Clean, well-organized shop environment
• Your experience will be valued—not underutilized

If you’re a skilled machinist who takes pride in precision work and wants a role that blends tooling expertise with modern CNC exposure, apply today!
