Are you a detail-oriented individual looking to build a long-term career in precision manufacturing? We are seeking a motivated CNC Machinist Trainee for a high-growth role. This isn't just a "button-pusher" job?we are looking for a future leader. We will provide the technical training; you provide the drive and reliability.

The Opportunity This is an entry-level position with a clear, structured career path. You will start by mastering machine operation and quality control. As you prove your technical proficiency and reliability, you will be mentored in setup, programming, and team management with the ultimate goal of transitioning into a Lead Machinist or Shop Floor Supervisor role.

Key Responsibilities

• Machine Operation: Operate CNC mills and lathes to produce high-quality parts.
  
  
• Quality Control: Learn to use precision tools (micrometers, calipers, gauges) to hold tolerances within $\pm 0.001$ inch.
  
  
• Maintenance: Perform routine machine cleaning and coolant management.
  
  
• Blueprint Reading: Develop the ability to interpret complex technical drawings.
  
  
• Continuous Learning: Shadow senior staff to learn setup procedures and G-code troubleshooting.
  
  

What We Are Looking For

• Ambition: A strong desire to move beyond entry-level work into leadership.
  
  
• Aptitude: Basic math skills and a mechanical mindset (prior experience with hand tools is a plus).
  
  
• Reliability: A track record of excellent attendance and a "safety-first" attitude.
  
  
• Education: High school diploma or GED; vocational training in machining is a major advantage but not required.
  
  

Why Join Us?

• Paid Training: Get paid to learn a high-demand trade.
  
  
• Leadership Track: We promote from within. Your growth is our priority.
  
  
• Benefits: Health, dental, vision, 401(k) matching, and paid time off.
