TrendHR is seeking an experienced CNC Machinist with manual machining experience on behalf of our client, a precision machining operation serving industries such as aerospace, industrial manufacturing, energy, and specialized equipment. Experienced machinist who enjoy precision craftsmanship, varied projects, and a true machining environment rather than repetitive production work.

This position is ideal for machinists who enjoy project-based work, tight tolerances, and a variety of machining challenges rather than repetitive production machining.
