A family-owned Chicago job shop, machining big, custom workpieces since the mid-1970s, is hiring CNC Machinists immediately. Our work serves steel mills, oil & gas, mining, food processing, automation, and power generation — no two jobs alike.
What you'll do:
- Set up and run large-part jobs on CNC vertical mills and CNC horizontal/vertical lathes
- Read blueprints and plan your own setups, workholding, and tooling
- Basic programming at the control (2D, 3-axis mills; 2-axis lathes)
What you bring:
- Hands-on CNC mill and lathe experience with full setup responsibility
- Comfort with large, heavy, custom parts and fabrications — not high-volume production
- Print reading and at-the-machine programming skills
Pay & schedule:
- $30–$40/hr based on experience
- Mon–Fri, 7:00 AM–5:30 PM; optional Saturdays (7 AM–noon). 50+ hrs/week with OT at time-and-a-half — great money for machinists who want the hours
- BCBS PPO medical + vision, optional dental, 2 weeks PTO, paid holidays, Christmas bonus, profit sharing, free on-site parking
One interview, on-site: you'll see the machine, get a print, and talk setups. If you know your stuff, you'll know right away this is your kind of shop.
