Join a team where craftsmanship and accuracy drive everything we do. As a Toolroom Precision Machinist, you’ll turn engineering intent into real parts—prototype runs, production components, and custom tooling—using a blend of conventional machines and Proto TRAK CNC equipment.
- Department: Direct Labor
- Reports to: Machining Manager
- Job Type: Full-time
- Salary: $33.00-$43.00
You begin by reviewing prints—decoding dimensions, tolerances, surface finishes, and GD&T callouts. You plan work, stage materials, and set up manual lathes and Proto TRAK CNC Milling and Turning Machines. Through the day, you’ll cut, grind, and polish; measure with calipers, micrometers, and visual comparators; and document what you did so the next run is even tighter. Before you clock out, you inspect and maintain your machines so they’re ready for tomorrow.
