You will work in a stable day-shift role that supports a healthy work–life balance, with consistent Monday–Friday hours and no rotating shifts. The environment values precision, craftsmanship, and continuous improvement, giving you the opportunity to expand your skills with both manual and CNC equipment. You will contribute directly to high-quality manufactured products while working alongside professionals who take pride in their work and maintain a clean, organized shop.

The position is based in a traditional machine shop environment that focuses on precision machining. You will work primarily on manual mills and lathes, CNC 3- and 4-axis vertical mills, and 2-axis lathes with live tooling, using precision measuring tools such as calipers and micrometers for inspection. The schedule is a day shift, Monday through Friday, from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM, providing consistent hours and predictable routines. The shop emphasizes cleanliness, organization, and safe work practices, with routine machine maintenance and adherence to documented manufacturing processes.
