  • Turn blueprints and sketches into reality by laying out work, developing processes, and performing setups.
  • Execute progressive machining operations with tolerances as tight as ±0.005.
  • Inspect, measure, and ensure every part meets exacting standards for dimensional accuracy and finish.
  • Collaborate with engineers, supervisors, and field machinists to plan cost-effective, high-quality solutions.
  • Keep safety front and center while maintaining a clean, organized workspace.
  • Share feedback to improve processes, tooling, and programs—your ideas matter here!

  • High school diploma or GED required; technical degree or journeyman status preferred.
  • 2–3 years of hands-on experience with manual machining and grinding.
  • Skilled in reading blueprints and mechanical drawings.
  • Comfortable operating Bridgeport knee mills, engine lathes, and ideally conversational programming.
  • Knowledge of feeds, speeds, and the machinability of ferrous and non-ferrous materials.
  • Strong math and problem-solving skills—geometry and trigonometry are your friends.
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment.

Physical & Work Environment

  • Frequent standing, walking, lifting (up to 50 lbs.), and use of hand tools.
  • Work indoors in a dynamic shop environment with occasional customer site visits.
  • Exposure to machining, welding, overhead cranes, and moderate noise—safety gear provided.

Perks & Requirements

  • 4-day work week (10 hours/day, overtime after 8, Fridays off when OT isn’t required).
  • OSHA 10 certification and forklift training provided.
  • Opportunities to learn advanced techniques and grow your career.
  • A culture that values safety, teamwork, and continuous improvement.
