Job description

Krueger Bearings is a family-owned machine shop with over 55 years of experience delivering high-quality, precision-machined parts. Known for our babbitt-lined bearings and wide range of machining capabilities-including milling, turning, grinding, and broaching-we take pride in our craftsmanship, reliability, and investment in state‑of‑the‑art equipment.

Lead the Floor. Own the Craft.

Are you a veteran machinist who’s ready to step into leadership without losing your connection to the machines? We’re looking for a 2nd Shift Working Supervisor who can bridge the gap between “high‑level strategy” and “making chips.”

Why This is the Ultimate Leadership Role

• The Best of Both Worlds: Spend part of your time leading/mentoring and part of your time on the machines (CNC Lathes, CNC Mills, Manual Machines).
• The 4-Day Grind: Work 10 1/2‑hour shifts Monday through Thursday. Willing to work 1 Saturday (5 hours) per month when needed.
• Shift Premium: Includes a competitive shift differential on top of a leadership hourly rate.

What You’ll Do

• Drive Production: Manage the workflow for the 2nd shift team, ensuring deadlines are met and quality is flawless.
• Technical Support: Act as the “go‑to” for complex setups, G‑code edits, and machining challenges.
• Quality Watchdog: Perform first‑article inspections and troubleshoot part deviations before they become scrap.
• Team Mentor: Train junior machinists on best practices, shop safety, and the finer points of precision machining.
• Shift Handoff: Coordinate with the 1st shift supervisor to ensure a seamless transition of work‑in‑progress.

What We’re Looking For

• Machining Mastery: 8‑10+ years of experience across CNC Lathes and Mills.
• Natural Leadership: You’re the person people naturally go to when they have a technical question. You lead by example, not by ego.
• Shop Math Pro: Expert‑level blueprint reading (GD&T) and trigonometry.
• Reliability: You’re the anchor for the night crew—reliable, decisive, and calm under pressure.

The Rewards

• Competitive Hourly pay + Shift Differential.
• Full Benefits Package: Health, Dental, Vision, and 401(k) match, HSA with company match, PTO, and more.
• Modern, Climate‑Controlled Facility.
• Career Growth: This is a key leadership position with a direct seat at the table for shop improvements.
