We’re adding talented grinders now—and there’s a $4,000 sign-on bonus to help you get started.

You’ll turn challenging prints into finished precision components by mastering setups, holding microns, and documenting every step. You’ll also be a culture carrier—sharing know-how, solving problems, and upholding the Regal Rexnord Values.

• Confidently set up and run at least two machines in the department (CNC/Manual, ID/OD, Centerless, Face) to meet schedule and quality targets.
• Confirm part conformity using gauges and related measuring devices; set and verify preset gauges for proper calibration.
• Own your quality and throughput; complete required documentation and periodically inspect work produced by other operators.
• Calculate dimensions, speeds, feeds, and cycle times; operate multiple machines; use hand tools and manual machines as needed.
• Keep the work area clean, organized, and safe; perform other related duties as assigned.

What Success Looks Like

• In 30 days: You’re independently setting up two machine types and accurately entering ERP data.
• In 60 days: Your first-pass yield is on target, and peers seek your help with gauge setup.
• In 90 days: You’re flexing to multiple machines and assisting with inspections across the cell.

• High school diploma or equivalent experience.
• Solid basic math skills.
