2nd Shift Lead CNC Machinist

We’re partnering with a high-end precision manufacturer to hire an experienced Second Shift CNC Manager/Lead.

This is a unique opportunity for a senior machinist who wants more ownership without moving away from the technical side of manufacturing. The company is investing in and expanding its second-shift operation, and this person will play a major role in how that shift is built and operates long term.

This is not a desk-based supervisor position. You’ll be on the floor as the senior technical resource-helping machinists solve difficult problems, troubleshooting complex jobs, supporting quality, setting priorities, and keeping production moving.

The work consists of complex, tight-tolerance components for highly regulated industries, so we're looking for someone who has worked in an environment where machining knowledge, GD&T, inspection, and process discipline really matter.

Responsibilities:

• 7+ years of CNC machining experience in a precision manufacturing environment.
• Strong hands-on experience with CNC milling and turning.
• Experience with wire EDM strongly preferred.
• Advanced blueprint reading and GD&T knowledge.
• Strong understanding of dimensional inspection and quality requirements.
• Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot machining processes, setups, tooling, and dimensional issues.
• Previous experience leading, mentoring, or serving as a senior technical resource for other machinists.
• Aerospace, defense, medical, or similarly tight-tolerance manufacturing experience strongly preferred.
• Experience working within AS9100 or another highly regulated quality system is highly valuable.
• Comfortable being hands-on while also taking ownership of workflow, quality, and team performance.

Requirements

• 10+ years of CNC machining experience
• Strong hands-on CNC milling and turning knowledge
• Experience troubleshooting complex setups and machining processes
• Advanced blueprint reading and GD&T
• Strong understanding of dimensional inspection and quality
• Experience with tight-tolerance, high-precision manufacturing
• Experience mentoring, leading, or serving as the technical resource for other machinists
• Exposure to additional precision processes such as wire EDM is highly valuable
• Experience in aerospace, defense, medical, or another highly regulated manufacturing environment is preferred

Benefits

• Very competitive medical, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k) with company matching
• Paid time off
• Life and disability insurance
• HSA and flexible spending account options
• Bonus potential
• Professional development and advancement opportunities
