Machinist – Maple Grove, MN (Direct Hire)
$52,000 – $67,000 | Full-Time | Monday–Friday | 6:30 AM–3:00 PM
We are immediately hiring a skilled Machinist for a long-term, direct-hire opportunity in Maple Grove. This is a stable, family-owned manufacturer with extremely low turnover and a strong reputation in EDM and mold-making since 1975.
If you can run machines, hold tight tolerances, and take ownership of your work on the shop floor—this is worth a serious look.
What You’ll Do
- Set up and operate CNC vertical mills, lathes, band saws, and surface grinders
- Work primarily with graphite materials for precision components
- Interpret blueprints, CAD models, and work instructions
- Perform full setups including tooling, fixturing, and machine adjustments
- Execute saw cutting, grinding, six-side machining, and finishing work
- Troubleshoot machining issues and make in-process adjustments
- Inspect parts using precision measuring tools to ensure quality compliance
- Maintain safe, clean, and organized work area (5S mindset)
What We’re Looking For
- Strong CNC machining or setup experience (mills, lathes, grinders)
- Ability to read and interpret prints and technical drawings
- Comfortable working with tight tolerances and precision work
- Hands-on mechanical problem-solving ability
- Experience with setup, tooling, or machine troubleshooting strongly preferred
- Graphite, EDM, mold-making, or similar background is a plus
- CNC programming experience is a strong advantage (not required)
Why This Role Stands Out
- Direct hire — no contract or temp period
- Extremely stable company with long-tenured employees
- Hands-on work with precision, custom machining (not production-only)
- Strong opportunity for skill growth in setup and advanced machining
- Clean, organized, and well-supported shop environment
If you’re a machinist who can set up, run, and troubleshoot your own work—apply now. We are actively interviewing and filling this role quickly.
