Apply NowJob Description
We are hiring multiple CNC Machinists across junior and senior skill bands to support a high-mix, low-volume precision machining environment producing complex, tight-tolerance parts. We're experiencing strong growth and scaling our machining team accordingly, building a balanced crew of developing talent and seasoned experts. You'll find the best of both worlds here: the pace and variety of a job shop, paired with the stability, benefits, and progression of a well-run operation that rewards growth.We're hiring on every shift and offer consistent overtime to those who want it, but rarely required for those who don't.This is not a button-pushing role. Our machinists own work end-to-end, from setup through final inspection, and play a direct role in quality, delivery performance, and continuous improvement. If you have strong fundamentals, a genuine passion for machining, and the skill to prove it, we want to talk.CompensationJunior Machinist: $26 - 33 / hrSenior Machinist: $33 - $45 / hrNight Shift Differential: $3 /hrWeekend Shift Differential: $4 / hrShiftsDay Shift (4 x 10s) 6:00am - 4:30pmNight Shift: (4x 10s) 4:30pm - 3:00amWeekend Shift: (3 x 12s, paid for 40), Friday - Sunday, 6:00am - 6:30pmConsistent Overtime10+ hours / week for those who want itRarely required for those who don'tBenefits$5-7k of relocation assistance (to Tuscaloosa, AL)Medical, dental, vision401(k) with matchPTODepending on skill level, you will be responsible for:Set up and operate CNC milling and turning centers in a precision, job-shop environmentRun work end-to-end: setup, run, inspect, and document resultsInterpret complex blueprints, routings, and work instructionsSelect tooling, establish offsets, and build effective workholding strategiesPerform manual measurement and inspection using micrometers, gauges, indicators, and other precision toolsHold tight tolerances and own part quality from first piece through final runRead and understand CNC programs; make edits and adjustments as requiredTroubleshoot dimensional, tooling, and process issues to restore quality and throughputSupport setup of proven and unproven parts based on capabilityMaintain a clean, safe, and organized work areaParticipate in continuous improvement and process optimization effortsRequirementsWe are hiring for two primary profiles and will align level and pay to demonstrated capability.Junior CNC Machinist: This profile is ideal for a machinist with strong fundamentals who is ready to take the next step.You likely bring:A few years of machining experience with the ability to run your own setups on medium-complexity partsExperience on mills and/or lathes in a precision environmentConfidence using manual inspection tools (calipers, micrometers, indicators) and holding consistent tolerancesAbility to read programs, make small edits/offset changes, and calibrate or verify machine condition as neededStrong coachability, ownership mindset, and a desire to grow into advanced setups and tighter tolerancesSenior CNC Machinist: This profile is for a true setup expert who can take on complex, tight-tolerance work, including parts the shop hasn't seen before, and dial them in efficiently.You likely bring:7+ years in precision machining (more is welcome)Proven experience holding .0005" (5 tenths / ~13 microns) or tighter on critical features, with the ability to verify those tolerances manuallyStrong ability to interpret complex technical drawings and apply GD&T (e.g., true position, parallelism, profile, concentricity, flatness, coaxiality)Experience setting up multi-axis equipment (5-axis mills and/or mill-turn / multi-axis lathes)Ability to fluently read G-code / M-code and efficiently edit programs to maintain quality and throughputBackground in high-setup environments (often 30%+ setup time) and complex setups with 10+ tools (and potentially far more)Experience setting up unproven parts and troubleshooting tooling/process/machine variables to achieve first-article successStrong documentation habits, teamwork, communication, and an unwavering commitment to safety and craftsmanshipBenefitsBenefitsMedical, dental, vision401(k) with matchPTO
