Operator - 2nd Shift

Overview

We're looking for a practical, hands-on Machine Operator who enjoys variety in their work. This role offers the opportunity to work across different equipment, handle a range of setups, and continuously develop your technical skills.

If you're curious about how machines operate and enjoy troubleshooting and problem-solving, you'll thrive in this environment.

Responsibilities

The Role

You’ll be setting up and running a mix of semi-automatic and manual machines in a machine shop environment. This includes specialist work like lapping, polishing, and tool sharpening.

It’s not just about running equipment, you’ll get involved in setups, inspections, and troubleshooting when things aren’t quite right.

What you’ll do

• • Set up and run a range of machines including lapping, polishing, and tool grinding
  • Use cutting tools such as diamond grinding wheels
  • Read and interpret blueprints and work instructions
  • Work to tight tolerances (down to four decimal places)
  • Carry out first-piece inspections to make sure work meets spec
  • Spot and troubleshoot mechanical issues on machines
  • Keep your work area clean and organized
  • Follow all safety procedures (non-negotiable)
  • Pitch in with other tasks as needed

Qualifications

What you’ll bring

• High school diploma (or equivalent)
• Experience with machining equipment, tools, and gauges
• Ability to read and understand blueprints and tolerances
• Basic math skills (algebra and geometry, nothing too exotic)
• Confidence setting up and operating machines, not just running them
• A detail-focused mindset—especially when working to tight tolerances
• Mechanical aptitude and problem-solving skills
• A willingness to learn new machines and processes

What you’ll get

• Schedule: Monday–Thursday 2:30 p.m. – 12:00 a.m., Friday 2:30 p.m. – 6:30 p.m.
• Competitive pay for the area
• Variety in your day—job mix changes daily
• Opportunities to learn new skills and cross-train across machines
• Overtime is usually optional, but regularly available if interested
• Climate-controlled manufacturing environment
• A supportive team and solid shop culture
• Work that isn’t overly physically demanding

Candidates must be a US Person, defined as an individual that is a:

• Citizen of the United States, or
• Permanent resident alien of the United States, or
• Protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3) as defined by 22CFR120.15
