Maintenance Millwright – Manual Fabrication & Equipment Repair

The Basics

This is a hands-on machining and mechanical repair role inside a production facility that runs older, custom-built equipment. The position opened because a long-tenured employee retired and they're looking for someone who can fill that gap without a lot of handholding.

No CNC. No automation. Just real machining: mills, lathes, and the ability to figure out what broke, make the part, and get the line back up.

What the Job Involves

·Use manual Bridgeport mills, lathes, and related tooling to fabricate and repair production components

·Diagnose mechanical failures on presses, roll formers, and industrial machinery

·Reverse engineer worn or broken parts when drawings aren't available

·Keep the tool room and machining area organized and functional

·Work alongside a maintenance crew and step up when equipment goes down

What They're Looking For

·At least 2 years running manual machine tools in a production or fabrication environment

·Comfortable on mills and lathes without relying on CNC or automated setups

·Strong mechanical instincts — especially on equipment that doesn't have a manual anymore

·Can work from a worn part or a rough sketch just as easily as a formal drawing

·Makes decisions independently and doesn't need someone looking over their shoulder

·Steady, dependable, and not looking for drama

Compensation & Benefits

·$40–$50/hour based on experience

·Health, dental, and vision coverage

·401(k) with employer match

·Paid time off and holidays

·Long-standing, privately held manufacturer — stable work environment with low turnover
