Pinewood Tool is a family owned, high-precision job shop, and we're hiring a Precision Grinder to join our first shift. You'll handle surface and OD grinding on tooling and components for short-run, tight-tolerance work where flatness, parallelism, concentricity, and finish all need to be right the first time. This is a hands‑on role for someone who takes pride in reading a print, picking the right wheel, dressing it well, and bringing parts in to spec.

What you'll do

• Surface (flat) grinding to hold flatness and parallelism
• OD grinding to hold concentricity and runout
• Fine surface‑finish control to print specification
• Work to Pinewood's capability of holding tolerances to .0001″
• Set up your own jobs, select and dress wheels, and perform in-process inspection
• Machine from blueprints, applying GD&T
• Take ownership of your work and stand behind the result

What we're looking for

• 10+ years of precision grinding experience in a toolroom or short-run job shop
• Hands‑on experience with precision hand grinders, spin fixtures and wet grinders
• Demonstrated ability to hold tight tolerances on flatness, parallelism, concentricity, and runout
• Strong wheel selection and dressing skills across materials and finishes
• Solid blueprint reading and applied GD&T knowledge
• Comfortable with standard toolroom metrology — micrometers, indicators, height gauges, surface plates, surface-finish testers
• High school diploma or equivalent
• Detail-oriented, dependable, and team‑minded — a fit for our culture of ownership, attention to detail, continuous improvement, and teamwork

The shop and the schedule

• First shift, 8-hour days, full-time, in person
• Clean, air-conditioned facility
• Small-team environment where your work is visible and valued
• Salary is based on experience
