Full Job Description

The Machinist I is an experienced, self-sufficient craftsperson capable of independently setting up and running CNC and manual equipment with minimal supervision. This role takes ownership of complex jobs from print to finished part, holds tight tolerances, and serves as a technical resource for less experienced machinists on the floor. The ideal candidate is a skilled, self-directed tradesperson who works well in a small, fast-paced precision manufacturing team. This position reports to the Shop Foreman.

Key Responsibilities

Machining & Setup

Set up and operate CNC mills, CNC lathes, and water jet equipment independently.
Plan job sequencing and select tooling and fixturing for efficient, quality production.
Complete setups from scratch without pre-built setups.

Blueprint & Specification

Read and interpret complex technical drawings, GD&T callouts, and tight tolerances.
Write or edit basic CNC programs and make offsets to maintain required tolerances.

Quality & Coordination

Perform in-process and final inspections using precision measuring instruments, including micrometers, calipers, CMMs, and other inspection equipment.
Identify and communicate quality issues, tooling wear, and equipment concerns to the Shop Foreman.
Assist the Shop Foreman with scheduling input and job status updates.
Mentor and assist less experienced machinists with setup and machining techniques.

Shop Operations & Safety

Maintain a clean, safe, and organized work area.
Follow established safety procedures and proper PPE requirements.

Schedule

Schedule: Monday–Thursday, 7:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m.; Friday, 7:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m. Occasional overtime required

Compensation & Benefits

$22.00–$28.00 per hour, based on experience.
7 paid holidays and paid vacation.
Company-paid health insurance options available.
Stable schedule with consistent Friday early release at 1:00 p.m.

Qualifications

Required

5+ years of hands-on machining experience in a job-shop or precision manufacturing environment.
Proficiency with CNC mills, CNC lathes, and manual machines.
Ability to independently set up machines from scratch.
Strong blueprint reading skills, including GD&T.
Experience with precision measurement and inspection methods.
Ability to work independently and manage time effectively to meet deadlines.
Team-oriented with a willingness to share knowledge and assist others.

Preferred

CAM software experience, such as Mastercam, Fusion 360, or similar.
Experience with heat treating tool steel.

Work Environment & Physical Demands

This position is based on the production floor of a machine shop. The employee is regularly exposed to moderate-to-loud noise, machine oil, coolant, metal chips, and dust. Appropriate PPE is provided and required.

The role requires standing for extended periods, bending, reaching, manual dexterity, and lifting or moving materials up to 50 lbs. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
