If you're passionate about precision, love the hum of machines, and enjoy bringing designs to life, then grab your safety glasses and get ready to roll!

We are looking for a machinist that knows their way around the world of manual mills, CNC machining center, manual lathes, manual drill presses, pneumatic saw, and hydraulic press.

Let’s see if you’ve got what it takes!

• Machining is in your blood. You’ve got most of the basics down.
• Know your way around a machine shop? Good, 'cause we want to hit the ground running.
• One year or more slinging metal on manual mills or lathes? Awesome. But we are also willing to train the right person.
• Can you handle threads like a pro, whether they're single or multiple, right or left-handed? Ideal.
• Keeping quality high and scrap rates low? That's music to our ears!
• Do you have a keen eye for details? You will put your inspection skills to the test with calipers, gauges, and more.
• From marking to cutting to shaping, you'll be the master of metal manipulation.
• Selecting the perfect machine for the job and loading it up with materials? Consider it done.
• Hold those tolerances tighter than a new bolt and ensure those parts are pristine as per the prints.
• Okay with providing a little TLC? Keep those machines purring with routine maintenance checks and cleanouts.

Requirements

• Did you get some trade schooling or maybe you've got a diploma from the school of hard knocks? Either way, we're listening.
• Welding experience? Sweet bonus points, but not a deal-breaker!
• Ever dabbled in CNC programming? We're intrigued! Must be willing to learn and grow in this area.

If you’ve got what it takes to run with the big dogs, then we want to meet you ASAP. Be ready to show us what you’ve got when you come in for an interview. Time to apply!
