Are you a skilled machinist who thrives on precision CNC programming, complex setups, and solving tough machining challenges with minimal supervision? Then join us in our mission to pioneer smarter solutions for moving and transforming water, reducing energy consumption, and enhancing quality of life for people.

As our new Machinist II - 2nd Shift, you will be performing complete setups including advanced programming, editing, and operation of CNC machining centers, lathes, and mills while mentoring fellow team members and driving continuous improvement on the shop floor.

What you will be doing

As a key part of the Manufacturing Machine Shop team, you'll create impact by delivering precision-machined components that power Peerless Pump solutions, ensuring quality and efficiency while helping develop the next generation of machinists on your team.

Your main responsibilities include:

• Complete setup including CNC programming (Fanuc Controls/G Code), editing, operation, and preventative maintenance on milling centers, lathes, and mills
• Study blueprints, drawings, and specifications to determine dimensions, tolerances, sequence of operations, and setup requirements

We would also imagine that you have:

• High School Diploma or GED with 2-4 years of manual machining experience (mills, drills, grinders)
• 1-3 years of CNC programming, operation, and setup experience with Fanuc, Mazatrol, or Allen-Bradley controls
• Advanced knowledge of blueprint reading, shop math (decimals, fractions, geometry, trigonometry), and GD&T
• Ability to lift up to 50 pounds and stand for extended periods in a non-climate-controlled facility

It is a plus if you also:

• Additional technical training or certification in machining or manufacturing technology
• Strong experience using machining centers in a job shop environment with precision threading, boring, and grooving
• Veterans with related technical MOS experience are strongly encouraged to apply
