  • Occasionally operate multiple machines simultaneously

This role combines advanced CNC machining skills with toolroom expertise, requiring both technical proficiency and the ability to work independently on custom, non-repetitive projects.

  • Knowledge of Environmental Health & Safety procedures

Why Choose Jagemann?
  • Immediate Benefits – No waiting period
  • Complete Health Coverage – Medical, dental, and vision insurance from day one
  • Financial Security – Company-paid short/long-term disability and basic life insurance
  • Retirement Planning – 401(k) with company contributions
  • Work-Life Balance – Paid holidays and vacation time from hire
  • Professional Growth – Paid education programs and career development opportunities
  • Health & Wellness – Onsite fitness center for employees and spouses
  • Safety First – Prescription safety glasses and safety shoe reimbursement
  • Employee-Friendly – Flexible policies in a temperature-controlled facility
