Precision OD/ID Grinding Specialist & CNC Lathe Machinist
Precision OD/ID Grinding Specialist & CNC Lathe Machinist
Picture a day where complex aerospace and gear components move from raw stock to flawless parts because of your hands. On first shift, you’re dialing in an OD grind at 5:45 AM, chasing tenths and holding strict tolerances. On second shift, you’re on the lathe, programming a short-run job, calculating offsets, and running your own setup from print to part. If that sounds like your rhythm, read on.
Current Openings — OD/ID Grinding
- 1st Shift: 5:30 AM – 3:30 PM
- 2nd Shift: 3:30 PM – 1:30 AM (10% night shift differential)
Compensation
- OD/ID Grinding: Up to ~ $40/hr for “master‑class” talent
- Turning (Lathe): Can stretch to ~ $40/hr for elite, aerospace‑gear‑level capability
- $100K+/year potential driven by consistent overtime
- Frequent raises per union contract
- 10% night shift differential
What You’ll Work On
OD/ID Grinding
- High-precision OD/ID grinding on aerospace/gear components
- Operate in a precision machining environment with rigorous quality expectations
Turning (Lathe)
- Own full setups independently—program, calculate, and run your work
- Read prints and manufacture parts from scratch in a job-shop setting
- Handle frequent changeovers efficiently
Who Thrives Here
- Background in precision machining
- Aerospace or gear industry experience preferred
- High-precision contract/job-shop machinists are strongly considered
- Proven strength in setup, troubleshooting, and print reading
- Comfortable in a fast-paced, demanding environment
Why This Role Stands Out
- Above-market pay with strong earning potential
- Average 55-hour work week with heavy overtime
- 2–3 shorter Saturday shifts (6 hours each) per month
- Air‑conditioned facility with a mix of new and legacy equipment
- Challenging, high‑complexity aerospace and gear work that keeps skills sharp
Tools & Technologies
- OD/ID Grinding Machines
- Turning Lathes
If you’re ready to take ownership of complex work and maximize your earnings through consistent overtime, this is where your precision mindset pays off.
