Job description

Description:

Lead the Shop. Build the Team. Drive Results.


You're not just managing machines—you're leading the people, processes, and performance that keep a high-precision machine shop running at its best.


We're looking for a hands-on Machine Shop Manager who has earned their stripes on the shop floor and knows what it takes to deliver quality work, solve tough manufacturing challenges, and build a team that takes pride in what they produce.

If you're the person machinists turn to when a critical job needs to be done right, this is your opportunity to take ownership of a thriving operation and make a lasting impact.

Requirements:

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Lead a skilled team of machinists who care about craftsmanship
  • Own day-to-day shop operations and influence company success
  • Stay connected to the work—this is a hands-on leadership role
  • Drive process improvements and operational excellence
  • Solve complex machining challenges every day
  • Join a stable, growing company that values experience and leadership

What You'll Lead


Shop Operations

  • Direct daily activities across CNC mills, lathes, and manual machining equipment
  • Ensure safe, efficient, and productive shop floor operations
  • Balance priorities in a fast-paced, high-mix manufacturing environment

Production & Performance

  • Build schedules, manage workflow, and keep jobs moving
  • Drive on-time delivery and quality performance
  • Remove obstacles, solve bottlenecks, and maximize shop efficiency

Continuous Improvement

  • Improve setups, tooling strategies, and machining processes
  • Reduce downtime, scrap, and wasted effort
  • Implement practical solutions that improve productivity and profitability

Team Leadership

  • Train, mentor, and develop machinists at all skill levels
  • Foster accountability, teamwork, and professional growth
  • Build a culture focused on quality, safety, and pride in craftsmanship

What You Bring


Machining Expertise

  • 5-7+years of machining experience, including leadership or supervisory responsibilities
  • Strong CNC machining background (Vertical and Turning Centers required; Horizontal experience preferred)
  • Expertise in setups, tooling, troubleshooting, and tight-tolerance machining
  • Hands-on experience solving complex manufacturing challenges

Technical Knowledge

  • Strong understanding of GD&T and blueprint interpretation
  • Working knowledge of G-code, feeds & speeds, and machining strategies
  • Experience with FANUC controls
  • CAM programming experience (Mastercam preferred)

Leadership Skills

  • Respected by machinists because you've done the work yourself
  • Ability to lead by example and build high-performing teams
  • Strong decision-making and problem-solving skills
  • Comfortable taking ownership and being accountable for results

What Success Looks Like

  • Jobs ship on time and meet quality expectations the first time
  • The team is engaged, productive, and continually improving
  • Setup times decrease and shop efficiency increases
  • Safety standards remain a top priority
  • Customers receive reliable, high-quality products
  • The shop operates smoothly, professionally, and profitably

The Ideal Candidate


You've spent years mastering machining and naturally became the person others relied on for answers, leadership, and problem-solving. Now you're ready for a role where you can take ownership of the entire operation, develop the next generation of machinists, and drive the success of the shop.


If you're a machinist who became a leader—not a manager who became a machinist—we want to talk to you.

Apply today and take the next step in leading a machine shop where craftsmanship, accountability, and results matter.
