Description

Overview

We’re hiring a Lead CNC Machinist for 2nd shift at our machine shop. This is a working lead role: you’ll run machines and setups yourself while leading a crew of 4, with 3 other 2nd-shift machinists answering to you. You’ll be the go-to for questions and troubleshooting on the floor, and you’ll also handle basic quality checks for the shift.

What Makes This Opportunity Great

  • Lead a Crew: Be the point person for setups, troubleshooting, and problem-solving.
  • Run a Range of Equipment: Work on vertical and horizontal mills, Doosan machines with FANUC controls, and Mazaks, all running G-code. Experience with major program edits is a plus, but not required.
  • Own Shift Quality: Handle basic on-the-floor inspection as the shift’s QC.
  • Keep Production Moving: Track daily production progress and compile it into Excel for the team.

Compensation

  • $28–$34/hr, plus $1/hr 2nd shift differential

Shift

  • 2nd Shift: Monday–Friday, 2:00pm–10:30pm

Requirements

  • CNC machining experience on vertical and horizontal mills, including setups
  • Ability to read and troubleshoot G-Code; program editing is a plus but not required
  • Experience leading, mentoring, or training other machinists
  • Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills
  • Ability to perform basic quality inspection without dedicated QC support
  • Basic computer skills
  • Comfortable working independently as the senior team member on shift

Benefits
