Job description

A Day in the Life: Aerospace Gear Machining Apprentice

Location: Downer's Grove, IL | Industry: Aerospace Manufacturing

Picture starting your night shift alongside seasoned machinists in a dedicated Hobbing & Shaping Department. You’ll step up to precision equipment, observe expert setups, and practice the fundamentals of gear machining with guided, hands-on instruction. Each shift, you’ll build confidence as you learn how gears are shaped and hobbed for critical aerospace applications.

What You’ll Experience
  • Immersive, on-the-job training in precision gear machining
  • Progressive exposure to hobbing and shaping operations
  • Daily mentorship from experienced machinists on specialized equipment
  • Real career-building momentum in a union shop
Compensation & Schedule
  • Pay: $20.00–$26.00 per hour (competitive and based on experience)
  • Shift Differential: 10% for 2nd shift
  • Schedule: Night shift
  • Status: Union position
Why This Role Stands Out
  • Entry point into aerospace manufacturing with structured mentorship
  • Clear path for growth and advancement in a high-demand trade
  • Opportunities to master specialized hobbing & shaping skills
What You’ll Learn and Do
  • Absorb the fundamentals of gear hobbing and shaping through hands-on practice
  • Support setups and safe operation of specialized machining equipment
  • Develop the precision mindset required for aerospace-quality work
  • Collaborate with a team of experts who invest in your development
You’re a Great Fit If You Have
  • Interest in an apprenticeship/entry-level path—no prior machining required
  • Any exposure to manufacturing or machining (a plus, not required)
  • Mechanical aptitude, a keen eye for detail, and a learner’s mindset
  • Reliability, motivation, and the desire to build a long-term machining career
How to Apply

Submit your resume today. Qualified candidates will be contacted for a quick initial screening.
