Job Description Job Description Step Into Precision Picture your day in a modern, climate-controlled machine shop where craftsmanship meets cutting-edge technology. You review the job traveler, stage tools and fixtures, and bring a CNC mill, lathe, or Swiss-style machine online for its next production run. Your first-piece inspection confirms the setup is dialed in; a few thoughtful offsets, and the parts begin flowing—accurate, repeatable, and on time. Throughout the run, you keep a close eye on quality while maintaining a safe, clean, and organized work cell. What You’ll Tackle Set up CNC mills, lathes, and Swiss-style equipment for production runs. Verify tooling, fixtures, and materials; ensure proper alignment before first cut.

Strong attention to detail and a commitment to top-tier part quality. Why You’ll Love It Here Competitive pay up to $30/hour, depending on experience. Multiple schedules available: 1st, 2nd, and 3rd shift. Clean, temperature-controlled, state-of-the-art facility. Full-time, direct-hire position with long-term growth potential. Ready to put your setup skills to work in a precision-focused environment? Apply today and grow your career with a team that values your expertise.
