The Ohio Art Company is expanding operations in Bryan- and manufacturing equipment is arriving within the next few weeks. We’re looking for a skilled Tool & Die Machinist to join our Maintenance team and play a critical role in supporting, maintaining, and optimizing this equipment from day one.

Requirements

Why This Role Stands Out

• Equipment Arrival – Be part of the team that supports and maintains newly installed production systems
• Career Growth Built In – This role is part of our Maintenance Tier System, with clear pathways to advance as you gain skills and experience
• Specialized Work – Work on precision tooling that directly impacts production quality and efficiency
• Stable, Union Environment – Position operates under a collective bargaining agreement covering wages, benefits, and working conditions.

What You’ll Do

• Fabricate, maintain, and repair tools, dies, jigs, fixtures, and precision components
• Set up and operate manual machining equipment including lathes, mills, grinders, and EDM
• Read and interpret blueprints, CAD drawings, schematics, and GD&T specifications
• Support production by troubleshooting and repairing tooling to minimize downtime
• Inspect finished components using precision measuring instruments (micrometers, calipers, gauges)
• Collaborate with engineering and production teams to modify and improve tooling performance
• Maintain accurate documentation of work performed and materials used
• Follow all safety standards, union guidelines, and maintenance procedures

What We’re Looking For

• 3–5+ years of experience as a Tool & Die Machinist or precision machinist
• Strong understanding of machining practices, tooling, and metal forming processes
• Ability to read and interpret blueprints and GD&T
• Hands‑on experience with manual machining equipment
• Knowledge of materials, heat treating, and manufacturing processes
• Strong troubleshooting skills and attention to detail
• Reliable work history and commitment to safety

Preferred Qualifications

• Technical trade school, apprenticeship, or formal machinist training
• Experience supporting metal packaging, stamping, or high‑speed production environments
• Familiarity with preventive maintenance systems and tooling lifecycle management

Schedule & Benefits

• Competitive union wages
• Comprehensive benefits package including:
  • Medical, Dental, Vision
  • FREE Life Insurance
  • Paid Vacation + 11 Paid Holidays
  • Profit‑Sharing Opportunities
  • 401(k) with guaranteed 4.5% company contribution + match
