About the job
Overview We are seeking a CNC Machinist to manufacture precision parts and components that support a diverse portfolio of engineered products. In this role, you’ll primarily run CNC milling equipment (with turning experience strongly preferred), execute setups and changeovers, and hold tight tolerances through disciplined process control and in-process inspection. This is a hands-on shop-floor role for someone who takes pride in craftsmanship, works safely, and consistently delivers quality output with minimal supervision. We’re comfortable with a wide range of experience levels—from candidates coming right out of trade school to seasoned machinists—and we’ll pay commensurate with demonstrated capability. If you’re a machinist who values quality, consistency, and teamwork, we encourage you to apply. Compensation
