Job description

CNC Machinist -- Night Shift | Ashland, Kentucky

Competitive Hourly Rate | Heavy Industrial Service Center

Overview

Mural is partnering with a global industrial equipment manufacturer to find a hands-on CNC Machinist for their Ashland, Kentucky service center. Our client repairs and refurbishes large-scale steel mill equipment -- casting rolls, mill rolls, roll chocks, and heavy mechanical components -- for steel producers across North America. The primary machine at this facility is a Vertical Turret Lathe with a 3-meter diameter capacity. This is a machinist's machinist role. You are running equipment every shift, not programming or planning.

What you will be doing

Operating CNC machining equipment -- primarily large-format CNC turning -- to machine and refurbish heavy steel mill components to print specifications. You will set up tooling, load and run programs generated by the facility's programming team, make offset and feed/speed adjustments, monitor cut quality, and inspect finished parts against engineering drawings. The programming team handles program generation; your job is to run the machine, understand what the program is doing, and catch issues before they become scrap.

The schedule

This is a night shift position. Standard shifts are 8 hours. When client production volume is high, shifts can extend to 12 hours and may include weekend work. Mandatory overtime follows the client's production schedule -- this is not arbitrary, but it is part of the job and must be something you can commit to.

What we are looking for

• CNC machinist experience -- specifically CNC operation (turning, milling, or both); candidates with only manual lathe or manual mill backgrounds will not be considered
• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and GD&T tolerances
• Comfortable setting up tooling, making offset adjustments, and monitoring a job without constant programmer support
• Experience with large-format CNC equipment or heavy industrial machining is a significant plus
• Vertical Turret Lathe (VTL) experience is a top priority -- if you have run a VTL, that is the first thing to mention
• Night shift availability with flexibility for production-driven overtime and occasional weekends
• Light G-code reading ability is a plus -- not required, but helpful when making adjustments at night with limited support
