Job description

Louis Allis

Pay: based on experience Schedule: 1st shift โ€“ Monday โ€“ Friday 6:00 am โ€“ 2:30 pm Employment: Full-Time

Build and Repair Parts That Keep Industry Moving

Louis Allis is looking for an experienced Manual Machinist to join our team. If you enjoy hands-on machining, working from prints and samples, and producing precision parts rather than running the same production job all day, we'd like to talk with you.

You'll work in a clean, team-oriented shop machining and repairing components used in industrial electric motors and mechanical assemblies.

Electric motor experience is a plus, but [not required-we can teach the motor-specific work to an experienced machinist].

What You'll Do

  • Set up and operate manual lathes, horizontal mills, vertical mills, drill presses, and other machine tools
  • Manufacture and repair precision parts from drawings, blueprints, and samples
  • Hold close tolerances and verify your work using appropriate measuring equipment
  • Turn and undercut electric motor commutators
  • Use saws, grinders, sanders, files, and other shop equipment as needed
  • Inspect your work and maintain a high level of quality and attention to detail
  • Perform basic machine lubrication and maintenance
  • Work alongside other experienced machinists and members of our motor repair team
  • Maintain a safe, organized work area

What We're Looking For

  • 2+ years of machining/shop experience
  • Experience setting up and operating manual machine tools
  • Ability to read and machine parts from drawings and blueprints
  • Ability to work accurately to close tolerances
  • Strong mechanical aptitude and attention to detail
  • Electric motor repair or motor-shop experience is a plus
  • Trade school training is a plus
  • Ability to safely handle and secure heavy components
  • Commitment to safe work practices

Why Join Louis Allis?

We offer a clean work environment, team atmosphere, steady full-time work, and a comprehensive benefits package, including:

  • Medical insurance
  • Dental insurance
  • Vision insurance
  • Life insurance
  • 401(k) plan
  • Paid holidays
  • PTO
  • Overtime opportunities

If you're an experienced machinist who takes pride in making quality parts and enjoys varied, hands-on machining work, apply today. We'd like to hear from you.
