Job Title: Mill Machinist and Toolmaker (2nd and 3rd Shift)Job Description

Join a growing, climate-controlled manufacturing facility as a Mill Machinist or Toolmaker on 2nd or 3rd shift. You will work with relatively new CNC milling equipment and tooling in a large, modern plant expansion, focusing on precision machining, tool making, and maintenance of production machinery rather than building maintenance.

Responsibilities
  • Set up, operate, and adjust CNC milling machines to produce precision components according to specifications.
  • Perform milling and general machining operations, ensuring accuracy, quality, and adherence to safety standards.
  • Fabricate, repair, and maintain tools, dies, and fixtures required for production processes.
  • Conduct mechanical and basic electrical maintenance on production machinery to minimize downtime and support continuous operations.
  • Inspect parts and tooling using appropriate measuring instruments to verify dimensions and tolerances.
  • Troubleshoot machining and tooling issues, identify root causes, and implement effective corrective actions.
  • Collaborate with maintenance and production teams to prioritize work orders and ensure equipment reliability.
  • Maintain organized work areas, follow standard operating procedures, and complete documentation related to machining and maintenance tasks.
  • Support occasional building-related tasks only when necessary, such as covering for team members who are out, while primarily focusing on machinery.
Essential Skills
  • Minimum of 3 years of experience as a maintenance technician working with production machinery.
  • Hands-on experience with mill machining operations, including setup and operation of CNC milling machines.
  • Proficiency in tool making, tool and die work, and tooling fabrication and repair.
  • Strong mechanical aptitude with the ability to diagnose and repair mechanical issues on industrial equipment.
  • Basic electrical knowledge related to machinery maintenance and troubleshooting.
  • Ability to read and interpret technical drawings, specifications, and work instructions.
  • Demonstrated experience working in a manufacturing environment with machining and maintenance responsibilities.
  • Comfort working on 2nd or 3rd shift in a large production facility.
Additional Skills & Qualifications
  • Experience maintaining relatively new manufacturing equipment in a high-volume environment.
  • Background in environments such as food manufacturing or other demanding industrial settings.
  • Personal hobbies or hands-on projects related to mechanics, machining, or electrical work that reinforce practical skills.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail in both machining and maintenance tasks.
  • Ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams in a fast-paced setting.
Why Work Here?

Enjoy a modern, climate-controlled facility with relatively new equipment and a recently completed 25,000-square-foot expansion that brings in new machinery and technology. Benefit from weekly pay, as well as reimbursement programs for glasses, tools, and work boots that support your comfort and effectiveness on the job. Work in an environment where a dedicated building maintenance team allows you to focus primarily on machinery and technical work, offering a more specialized and rewarding experience than many traditional maintenance roles.

Work Environment

The role is based in a very large, climate-controlled manufacturing facility equipped with relatively new machinery, including a newly added 25,000-square-foot expansion featuring additional equipment. You will work on 2nd or 3rd shift in a non-food production environment, which often attracts experienced technicians from more demanding food manufacturing settings. A separate team handles building maintenance tasks such as toilets, lights, and doors, so you can concentrate mainly on production machinery, with only occasional exceptions. The facility supports industrial work attire, including appropriate work boots, with reimbursement available for boots, tools, and glasses.
