If you are a highly technical, degreed machinist who is tired of mundane, high-volume production lines where you are treated like a "button pusher," this lead-track position offers the variety, challenge, and professional respect you deserve. Our client is a premier, global market leader in the scrap recycling, construction, and demolition attachment industries. They are experiencing significant growth and operate a stable, family-oriented environment where technical excellence is actively celebrated and internal promotion is the norm.
The company deeply values its shop-floor leaders and protects your work-life balance by offering a dedicated Monday-through-Friday day shift with flexible start times to fit your lifestyle. You will be working with heavy-duty, state-of-the-art machinery to craft custom, high-strength hydraulic components. Alongside a highly competitive hourly wage and full benefits, you will participate in a robust corporate profit-sharing program that directly rewards your skill and dedication to long-term quality.
What You Will Be Doing - Performing complete, independent setups and advanced operations on a variety of large-scale CNC milling centers and complex multi-axis machines
- Editing G&M codes and optimizing program paths at the controller to safely manufacture precision hydraulic components from high-strength steels and specialized alloys
- Interpreting intricate multi-page blueprints and technical engineering drawings to determine exact dimensions, strict geometric tolerances, and the ideal sequence of operations
- Utilizing precision measuring instruments (bore gauges, micrometers, calipers) to conduct first-article inspections and verify 100% conformance to tight tolerances
- Collaborating directly with design engineering and welding fabrication teams to troubleshoot program issues, resolve complex setup roadblocks, and streamline workflow efficiency
- Providing technical mentorship and setup guidance to junior machine operators to ensure repeatable part quality and safe operation
- Upholding a rigorous safety-first culture, performing basic preventative machine maintenance, and sustaining a clean workspace in compliance with 5S standards
What We Are Looking For - Educational Foundation: A minimum of a 2-year Technical Diploma or Associate's Degree in CNC Machining, Machine Tool Technology, or a closely related manufacturing field is required
- Setup Expertise: Proven technical mastery of G&M codes, advanced shop math, and independent tool/fixture setup-you must be a true machinist capable of navigating unproven programs
- Heavy Machining Background: Significant professional experience managing setups on large milling centers and executing close-tolerance work on massive, complex workpieces
- Advanced Kinematics: Familiarity with 5-axis machining or live-tool turning centers is a major plus, though not required (extensive internal training is available)
- Stability: A reliable, long-term employment history; our client is highly selective and seeks dedicated team partners-candidates with a pattern of changing jobs every two years will not be considered
- Requirements: Must be a US Citizen or Green Card holder residing within or relocating to the Duluth, MN area
