A Deck Pusher is a supervisory role on offshore drilling rigs, responsible for overseeing the deck crew and ensuring safe and efficient cargo handling, equipment maintenance, and general deck operations. They coordinate loading and unloading activities, enforce safety protocols, and assist in rig move operations.

Deck Pushers on offshore rigs often work rotational shifts, such as 14 days on followed by 14 days off, with each shift typically lasting 12 hours. The work environment is demanding, involving exposure to various weather conditions, heavy equipment, and strict safety protocols. You will spend most of your time outdoors, supervising deck operations, managing logistics, and ensuring compliance with safety standards. While the schedule can be intense, it offers extended periods of time off and opportunities for career progression to higher supervisory or management roles within drilling operations.

After you apply to this job, you can share why you’re interested to jump to the top of the candidate list.

Job description

Law Weapons, a small firearms manufacturer in Aurora, IL. We build custom firearms for law enforcement and responsible citizens, do gunsmithing, and run job-shop work for other firearms companies. It's a hands-on shop — no cubicles, no committees, no slide decks. You'll work directly with me and see your parts go from CAD to chip to finished product the same week.

I'm hiring because we're growing and I need someone who can actually own parts start-to-finish, not a button-pusher.

The Job

You'll be the person who takes a part from design through finished, in-spec product on our Haas machines. That means CAD work in Fusion 360 , CAM programming, building fixtures, setting up jobs, running first articles, and holding tight tolerances. 

This is real work, not a checklist. If you like solving problems on your feet and seeing the parts you programmed walk out the door, you'll like it here.

What You'll Actually Do

- Design and revise parts in Fusion 360

- Program toolpaths (CAM) for our Haas mills and lathes

- Set up jobs, build fixtures, run first articles

- Hold tight tolerances unsupervised

- Work on custom builds, gunsmithing jobs, and contract work

- Help me improve how the shop runs

What I Need You to Have

• 3+ years hands-on programming and running Haas CNC machines (mills and/or lathes)

• 3+ years of real CAD/CAM experience in Fusion 360

- Strong G-code, fixturing, and tooling chops

- Ability to read prints and hold tight tolerances without me hovering over you

- Valid Illinois FOID card, or able to get one

- 21 or older

Nice to Have (Not Required)

- Firearms-industry experience — AR platform, pistols, suppressors, custom builds

- Gunsmithing background

- 4th- or 5th-axis experience

- Experience setting up tooling/fixturing standards in a small shop

What This Job Is Not

- Not a button-pushing role

- Not for someone who needs constant supervision

Tell me:

- What Haas models you've run

- A part you're proud of and why

- When you can start

If you've got photos of parts or fixtures you've built, bring them to the interview. That tells me more than a resume.

Benefits:

  • Employee discount
  • Flexible schedule
  • Paid Holidays
  • Ammo Perks / Employee Ammo Discount

Application Question(s):

  • How many years of hands-on experience do you have programming and operating Haas CNC machines?
  • Do you have at least 3 years of experience using both Fusion 360
  • Do you have a valid Illinois FOID card.
  • Are you 21 years of age or older?
  • Are you able to commute to Aurora, IL for an on-site, in-person job?

Company Description

Law Weapons Inc. is a small precision firearms manufacturer and CNC machine shop in Aurora, IL. We are an FFL Type 07 Manufacturer / SOT Class 2 Dealer with 30+ years of machining experience, building custom rifles, pistols, and suppressors for over 80 law enforcement departments nationwide, along with responsible citizens.
We run a 7-machine Haas CNC facility doing custom builds, gunsmithing, and contract manufacturing for other firearms companies. No cubicles, no committees, no slide decks — just real shop work where you can see what you built leave the door the same week you started it.
Our team is small, our work is precise, and our standards are high. If you take pride in your craft, you'll fit in.
