Job Description

CNC Machinist / Operator

3rd Shift | 11:00pm – 7:30am
$24–$28/hr (includes shift premium)
Full-Time | CNC Mills & Lathes

The Opportunity

If you prefer nights, less distraction, and a more independent work environment — this 3rd shift role is a strong fit.

This is a hands-on CNC role with real responsibility, not just loading parts and pushing buttons.

You’ll be trusted to run your machine, inspect your parts, and keep production moving while working in a quieter, more focused shift.

The company has been in business for 65+ years, with consistent growth and a strong reputation in the industry.

What You’ll Work On

• CNC Mills (high-volume production)
• CNC Lathes (more variety, smaller runs)

You may run one or multiple machines, depending on experience.

What You’ll Be Doing

Machine Operation & Production

• Run CNC mills and/or lathes
• Monitor production and maintain efficiency
• Identify tooling issues and make basic adjustments

Quality & Inspection

• Perform first piece and in-process inspections
• Use measuring tools (micrometers, calipers, gauges)
• Learn CMM and optical comparator inspection
• Own the quality of your parts

Day-to-Day Ownership

• Manage your machines independently
• Keep production on track
• Maintain a clean and organized work area

What We’re Looking For

• 2+ years CNC experience
• Ability to inspect your own work
• Understanding of CNC operations
• Strong attention to detail

Nice to Have

• Offsets or minor adjustments
• CMM/comparator experience
• Multi-machine operation

Why This Role Stands Out

• 65+ year stable company
• More independent work environment on nights
• Clear growth path into setup roles
• Training on inspection equipment
• Strong production consistency

Schedule & Overtime

• 3rd Shift: 11:00pm – 7:30am
• Overtime is voluntary
• Optional Saturdays
• Opportunity to pick up extra hours if desired

Compensation & Benefits

• $24–$28/hour (includes shift premium)
• Benefits start 1st of the month after hire
• 8 paid holidays + 3 floating holidays
• 80 hours PTO annually

Additional Perks

• Quarterly Chip Bonus
• Annual reviews + raises
• Growth-based pay increases

The Bottom Line

If you like working nights and want a role where you can focus, run your machines, and take ownership of your work, this is a strong opportunity.
