Job Description

Position Title: CNC Lathe Machinist

This machining role is built around one machine, one part at a time. The shop is a family-owned operation where employees stay for the long term, and it does not run as a high-volume chop shop. The work involves small parts under five pounds, machined to thousandths tolerances on Haas equipment, in mild steel and aluminum.

The environment is laid-back and friendly, with a business casual dress standard and a team that works well together. The company funds employee health savings accounts, holds annual reviews with raises and bonuses, and maintains a schedule that supports work-life balance. Machinists who wish to grow may learn mill work or move toward light programming.

Salary Range: $70,000 – $72,800 / Year DOE

Benefits

  • Medical coverage with the company paying most of the premium and funding the health savings account
  • Optional dental and vision coverage
  • Company-paid life insurance and long-term disability coverage
  • 401(k) retirement plan with a company match
  • Paid time off that increases with tenure, plus paid company holidays
  • Annual reviews with raises and annual bonuses

Machinists with solid CNC lathe experience who want a stable, family-owned shop with funded health savings accounts and room to grow should apply today.
