Job Description CNC Machinist II – Immediate Hire

* Lathe and/or Mill Exp Required

Location: Hamilton, NJ

Shift: First Shift | 7:00 AM – 3:30 PM

Employment: Full-Time | Direct Hire

Sole Hire is recruiting on behalf of our client, an established international pump manufacturer, for an experienced Machinist II to join their team in Hamilton, NJ.

This is an immediate opening within a small, hands-on machine shop. You'll work in a clean, temperature-controlled facility alongside an experienced supervisor and team producing precision components used in pump manufacturing.

What You'll Do

Set up and operate CNC and/or manual lathes and mills

Edit machine programs and make necessary tooling/offset adjustments

Machine precision components to engineering specifications

Inspect completed parts to ensure accuracy and quality

Read blueprints, engineering drawings, and GD&T

Troubleshoot machining and quality issues

Assist with fixtures, tooling, and process improvements

Perform routine equipment maintenance

Maintain safety, quality, and 5S standards

Requirements What We're Looking For

This is a setup machinist position—not an operator-only role.

Certified Apprenticeship + 1 year of setup experience OR 2+ years of machining setup/operating experience

Hands-on experience setting up and operating CNC and/or manual lathes or mills

Ability to perform machine setups with minimal supervision

Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and GD&T

Experience using calipers, micrometers, bore gauges, and other precision measuring tools

Ability to adjust tooling and work-piece offsets to maintain accuracy

Strong machining fundamentals, mechanical aptitude, and attention to quality

Basic computer and math skills

Experience with both lathes and mills is preferred, but not required. If you're strong in one and have solid machining fundamentals, the company is willing to train a motivated and coachable machinist on the other.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

First shift – 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM

Small, experienced team and hands-on leadership

Clean, temperature-controlled manufacturing environment

Opportunity to expand your skills across both mills and lathes

Stable, long-term opportunity with an established international manufacturer
