Description
Job Overview
We are seeking a Skilled CNC Machinist with strong manual lathe and setup experience to join a small, team-oriented machining job shop. This is a temp-to-hire opportunity, with the ability to go directin as little as 30 days based on performance and progression.
This role is not an operator position — we are specifically looking for machinists who can independently set up machines, perform tool changes, and run jobs with minimal supervision.
Key Responsibilities
Machine Setup & Operation
- Perform full or partial setups on CNC and manual lathes (primary focus)
- Execute frequent tool changes and insert adjustments
- Operate machining equipment, including manual lathes, CNC lathes, and mills
- Load and run parts while monitoring quality and output
- Maintain efficient production flow in a job shop environment
Production & Quality
- Work primarily with aluminum and some steel components
- Read and interpret blueprints and work instructions
- Inspect parts using standard measuring tools (calipers, micrometers, gauges)
- Ensure finished parts meet required tolerances and quality standards
Shop & Safety
- Maintain a clean and organized work area
- Follow all safety procedures and PPE requirements
- Support a collaborative, team-focused environment
What We're Looking For
- 3+ years of machining experience (5+ preferred)
- Strong experience with manual lathes (REQUIRED)
- Proven ability to perform machine setups and tool changes independently
- Ability to read blueprints and verify tolerances
- Reliable, self-motivated, and able to work without constant supervision
- Experience with Mastercam
- Comfortable working in a small team environment (3–4 machinists)
Nice to Have (Not Required)
- Exposure to CNC mills and automated lathes
- Experience in job shop or custom machining environments
Not a Fit If:
- You are strictly a CNC operator (no setup experience)
- You require step-by-step supervision to run jobs
Schedule
- Monday – Thursday: 6:00 AM – 4:30 PM
- Friday: Half-day (overtime opportunity)
- No weekends
Pay & Benefits
- $28.00 – $38.00/hour (based on experience)
- Overtime available on Fridays
- Opportunity to convert to direct hire in as little as 30 days
- Climate-controlled shop (heated & air-conditioned)
Additional Requirements
- Must be able to pass a drug screen and background check
Why This Role?
- Small, tight-knit machining team (not a large production floor)
- Clean, climate-controlled environment
- Consistent work on precision components like rollers and bearings
- Fast path to permanent hire for the right candidate
- Stable hours with no weekend work
Apply today if you're a hands-on machinist who can set up, run, and own your work. Qualified candidates will be contacted quickly.
