CNC Machinist

We are hiring multiple CNC Machinists across junior and senior skill bands to support a high-mix, low-volume precision machining environment producing complex, tight-tolerance parts. We're experiencing strong growth and scaling our machining team accordingly, building a balanced crew of developing talent and seasoned experts. You'll find the best of both worlds here: the pace and variety of a job shop, paired with the stability, benefits, and progression of a well-run operation that rewards growth.

We're hiring on every shift and offer consistent overtime to those who want it, but rarely required for those who don't.

This is not a button-pushing role. Our machinists own work end-to-end, from setup through final inspection, and play a direct role in quality, delivery performance, and continuous improvement. If you have strong fundamentals, a genuine passion for machining, and the skill to prove it, we want to talk.

Compensation

• Junior Machinist: $26 - 33 / hr
• Senior Machinist: $33 - $45 / hr
• Night Shift Differential: $3 /hr
• Weekend Shift Differential: $4 / hr

Shifts

• Day Shift (4 x 10s) 6:00am - 4:30pm
• Night Shift: (4x 10s) 4:30pm - 3:00am
• Weekend Shift: (3 x 12s, paid for 40), Friday - Sunday, 6:00am - 6:30pm

Consistent Overtime

• 10+ hours / week for those who want it
• Rarely required for those who don't

Benefits

• $5-7k of relocation assistance (to Tuscaloosa, AL)
• Medical, dental, vision
• 401(k) with match
• PTO

Depending on skill level, you will be responsible for:

• Set up and operate CNC milling and turning centers in a precision, job-shop environment
• Run work end-to-end: setup, run, inspect, and document results
• Interpret complex blueprints, routings, and work instructions
• Select tooling, establish offsets, and build effective work holding strategies
• Perform manual measurement and inspection using micrometers, gauges, indicators, and other precision tools
• Hold tight tolerances and own part quality from first piece through final run
• Read and understand CNC programs; make edits and adjustments as required
• Troubleshoot dimensional, tooling, and process issues to restore quality and throughput
• Support setup of proven and unproven parts based on capability
• Maintain a clean, safe, and organized work area
• Participate in continuous improvement and process optimization efforts

Requirements

We are hiring for two primary profiles and will align level and pay to demonstrated capability.

Junior CNC Machinist: This profile is ideal for a machinist with strong fundamentals who is ready to take the next step.

You likely bring:

• A few years of machining experience with the ability to run your own setups on medium-complexity parts
• Experience on mills and/or lathes in a precision environment
• Confidence using manual inspection tools (calipers, micrometers, indicators) and holding consistent tolerances
• Ability to read programs, make small edits/offset changes, and calibrate or verify machine condition as needed
• Strong coachability, ownership mindset, and a desire to grow into advanced setups and tighter tolerances

Senior CNC Machinist: This profile is for a true setup expert who can take on complex, tight-tolerance work, including parts the shop hasn't seen before, and dial them in efficiently.

You likely bring:

• 7+ years in precision machining (more is welcome)
• Proven experience holding .0005" (5 tenths / ~13 microns) or tighter on critical features, with the ability to verify those tolerances manually
• Strong ability to interpret complex technical drawings and apply GD&T (e.g., true position, parallelism, profile, concentricity, flatness, coaxiality)
• Experience setting up multi-axis equipment (5-axis mills and/or mill-turn / multi-axis lathes)
• Ability to fluently read G-code / M-code and efficiently edit programs to maintain quality and throughput
• Background in high-setup environments (often 30%+ setup time) and complex setups with 10+ tools (and potentially far more)
• Experience setting up unproven parts and troubleshooting tooling/process/machine variables to achieve first-article success
• Strong documentation habits, teamwork, communication, and an unwavering commitment to safety and craftsmanship
