CNC Mill & Lathe Machinist

CNC Machinist – Temp to Hire
Flexible Full-Time or Part-Time Schedule

A growing, owner-operated machine shop is seeking a skilled CNC Machinist to join our team on a temp-to-hire basis. We specialize in custom parts manufacturing and are looking for a dependable, hands-on machinist who can contribute to setup, operation, and machining processes in a small-shop environment.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking for schedule flexibility, including semi-retired machinists or candidates seeking part-time hours.

Schedule Flexibility:
We are open to both full-time and part-time candidates:

• Mornings only
• 3–4 day work weeks
• Standard 40-hour schedule

Core business hours are:
Monday – Friday | 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM

Compensation:

• Pay range estimated at $22–$30/hour, depending on experience
• Open to discussing compensation based on skill level and capabilities

 Position Responsibilities:

• Setup and operate CNC Mills and Lathes
• Perform machine edits and adjustments as needed
• Read and interpret blueprints and specifications
• Conduct tool inspections and maintain tooling organization
• Ensure quality and accuracy of machined parts
• Work with custom, small-part production
• Lift materials and parts up to 50 lbs.

 Preferred Skills & Experience:

• Experience with Mazak and Haas CNC Mills
• Ability to perform setups, edits, and machine operation independently
• CNC programming experience strongly preferred
• Familiarity with:
  • Mazak controls
  • G-Code
  • M-Code
• Strong attention to detail and craftsmanship

Programming experience is a huge plus; however, ownership is willing to assist with programming for the right candidate who demonstrates strong setup and operational abilities.

About the Shop:

• Small team environment with 2–3 employees
• Growing business with a strong backlog of orders
• Opportunity to work closely with ownership in a collaborative setting
• Currently no benefits offered, though ownership is open to exploring options in the future

This is a temp-to-hire opportunity, as ownership values seeing a candidate’s skills and work quality firsthand before making a permanent hire.
