CNC Machinist Large Part Machining

If you're an experienced CNC machinist who enjoys working on large, complex components not small repetitive parts this is an opportunity to join a stable, quality-driven manufacturer serving aerospace, defense, mining, and energy markets.

This is real machinist work: big iron, boring mills, horizontal lathes, tight tolerances, and parts that matter.

What You'll Work On

  • Large, precision components for high-performance industrial applications
  • FANUC-controlled CNC machines
  • Predominantly horizontal lathes, along with horizontal and vertical mills
    • 80% horizontal machining
    • 34 vertical mills onsite
  • Boring mills and large-part setups
  • Materials used in aerospace, defense, mining, and energy industries

If you enjoy working on substantial parts that require planning, precision, and skill this environment will keep you challenged.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Full machine setups from blueprint to first article
  • Programming/editing at the machine (FANUC control)
  • Reading and interpreting blueprints and GD&T
  • Holding tight tolerances on large components
  • Using bore gauges, micrometers, and precision inspection equipment
  • Adjusting offsets, troubleshooting chatter, improving surface finish
  • Performing routine maintenance and machine checks
  • Collaborating with quality and engineering to meet exact specifications

You will be trusted to think critically and solve problems not simply load parts and push cycle start.

Schedule & Compensation

2nd Shift (10-hour days): 4:20pm 2:50am (10% shift differential) Occasionally runs until 5:00am

  • MondayFriday schedule
  • Built-in overtime (10 hours weekly standard)
  • Occasional Saturday half-days (57 hours)

Pay Range: up to $37/hour

  • 10% shift premium for 2nd shift
  • Sign-on bonus: $500$3,500
    • 50% paid at 30 days
    • 50% paid at 90 days

Benefits

  • Medical, dental, and vision coverage starting immediately
  • 401(k) eligibility after 30 days
  • Stable, established company with very low turnover
  • On-the-job training and skill development
  • Long-term career opportunity

What We're Looking For

  • CNC machining experience in an industrial manufacturing environment
  • Experience with FANUC controls preferred
  • Strong blueprint reading and GD&T knowledge
  • Experience machining large parts and working with boring mills is highly valued
  • Strong troubleshooting ability and mechanical aptitude
  • Ability to work independently in a fast-paced, quality-focused shop

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Large-part machining not small repetitive production
  • Stable company with consistent workload
  • Real overtime opportunity built into schedule
  • Strong pay + shift differential + sign-on bonus
  • Professional shop culture that values experienced machinists
  • Minimal turnover people stay here

If you're a skilled machinist who takes pride in precision, enjoys complex setups, and wants long-term stability with strong earnings potential, this is an opportunity worth exploring.
