Wagner Machine Inc. has been delivering precision machining and fabrication services since 1957. As an ISO 9001:2015 and AS9100 Rev. D certified shop, Wagner supports customers across aerospace, heavy industrial, and custom manufacturing sectors.

This role exists to support continued demand in their high‑mix, job shop environment. Unlike production facilities, Wagner specializes in one‑off prototypes and short‑run machining where setup skill, blueprint interpretation, and independent problem‑solving are essential.

This is not a button‑pushing position — it’s hands‑on machining where craftsmanship matters.

In this role, you will:

• Set up and operate CNC mills and lathes in a true job shop environment
• Run one‑off prototypes and short‑run batches (typically 20–50 pieces)
• Interpret blueprints, drawings, and GD&T
• Perform tooling selection, offsets, and machine adjustments
• Inspect your own work to ensure tight tolerance accuracy
• Troubleshoot setups and machining challenges independently
• Work across a variety of materials and part sizes

Every day brings something different — new parts, new setups, new challenges.
