Job description

CNC Machinist — All Levels | Night Shift

Coastal Machine & Supply · Carencro, LA · Full-Time · Night Shift

We make the parts most shops turn down.

Coastal Machine & Supply is an AS9100-certified precision contract manufacturer specializing in large, complex turning and 5-axis milling for the Defense, Space, and Oil & Gas industries. Long-cycle work, tight tolerances, expensive material, and parts that matter.

We are hiring machinists at every level for night shift.

Schedule:Mon–Thu, 5:00 PM – 5:00 AM]
Shift Differential: 15% Premium
Classification: Hourly, non-exempt, overtime eligible
Benefits: 100% Employer paid Health Insurance For Employee, 50% Employer paid Health Insurance for Employee's family, PTO to start, Vision, Dental, & Life available, 3% IRA Match

What You'll Run

Coastal runs four platform families:

• CNC Lathes: Large-envelope turning, long-cycle, heavy material
• Mill-Turns: Multi-tasking turn/mill centers — sub-spindle, live tooling, B-axis.
• 5-Axis Mills: Simultaneous and 3+2 machining of complex geometry
• 3/4-Axis Mills: Prismatic and rotary work

Depth on one family matters more to us than surface familiarity with all four. Mill-Turn and 5-Axis setup experience carries a premium.

Work orders, routings, and setup documentation are managed in ProShop. Machine performance is monitored through Datanomix.

Three Levels. One Application.

Machinist I
Runs proven programs to a documented setup sheet. Loads and unloads, adjusts offsets, deburrs, and performs in-process inspection. You bring shop math, precision measurement (calipers, micrometers, indicators), and the discipline to follow a setup sheet exactly.
Machining school, certificate, or comparable hands-on experience.

Machinist II
Sets up and runs independently on at least one platform family. Works to GD&T, selects and proves tooling, establishes tool and work offsets, makes control-level corrections, and holds tolerance across a full run without support.
3+ years CNC setup and operation.

Senior Machinist
Sets up complex work independently across multiple platform families. Prepares and supports first articles, drives tooling and process decisions at the machine, and troubleshoots problem jobs others can't.
7+ years, with demonstrated setup experience on Mill-Turn or 5-Axis.

Required at Every Level

• High school diploma or equivalent
• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings
• Proficiency with precision measurement tools
• Reliable attendance on a night schedule
• Must be a U.S. Person as defined under ITAR

Preferred

• Aerospace, defense, or oil & gas machining background
• Experience in an AS9100 or ISO 9001 environment
• GD&T interpretation per current ASME Y14.5

How We Operate

Every machinist at Coastal has the authority to stop a job on a quality concern, on any shift, without waiting for approval. We would rather lose a part than ship a bad one.

Physical Demands & Environment

Active machine shop: extended standing, lifting up to 50lbs, exposure to noise, coolant, and metal chips. Hearing and eye protection required on the floor. Steel-toe footwear required.
