Job Description

We're hiring CNC Machinists for our machine shop.

You'll program, set up, and run CNC lathes and mills, entering zero and reference points, setting tool registers and offsets, and proving out part programs before the first piece runs.

You'll also run manual, conventional, and special-purpose machines. The shop math here runs to geometry and trigonometry, and when a print or setup doesn't add up, you confer with engineers and programmers to resolve it.

Why Join Us

  • Full job control: Program, set up, prove out, and inspect your parts.

Compensation

  • Based on relevant experience, skill level, and job knowledge.
  • Final hourly rate is set during the interview.
  • Competitive offers around $30 / hr

Responsibilities

  • Programming: Enter zero and reference points, offsets, and conditional switches.
  • Program proving: Prove out part programs before production runs.
  • Setups: Install and adjust chucks, collets, tooling, and indicating vices.
  • Print reading: Study blueprints and sketches to determine dimensions and tolerances.
  • Shop math: Calculate setup requirements using geometry and trigonometry.
  • Inspection: Verify settings by measuring first-run parts and sample workpieces.
  • Troubleshooting: Detect malfunctions, adjust controls, and replace worn tools.
  • Preventive maintenance: Perform routine maintenance on machines as required.

About Laborup

Laborup is the #1 AI powered talent platform for America’s industrial workforce. We use AI to create jobs, not take them away. We help HR and plant leaders hire and keep the skilled workers who keep plants running: machinists, welders, maintenance techs, operators, industrial electricians, and engineers. USA Today called us the “LinkedIn for blue collar workers,” and Forbes profiled our work in “How AI Is Solving America’s 1 Trillion Dollar Manufacturing Labor Crisis.”

Today we work with manufacturers from 50 person shops to large public companies with tens of thousands of employees, and the story is the same everywhere. It is hard to find talent, hard to keep good people, and staffing costs keep rising. In a market where filling critical industrial roles can take months and turnover is constant, Laborup helps teams move qualified workers from first contact to on site interview in days instead of weeks and keep them on the floor longer.

Most of the workers our customers need are not on LinkedIn or the usual job boards. Laborup uses AI to find this hidden workforce, call and text them, screen and qualify them, build real profiles, and match them directly to the plants and roles where they can succeed. For workers, that means real, permanent roles at serious manufacturers, not one off gigs. For companies, it is durable infrastructure for hiring and retention at scale in a labor market that will stay tight for years.

We work across nuclear, defense, and advanced manufacturing, as well as sectors like aerospace, automotive, and food production. Teams that use Laborup hire 5 to 10 times faster, see around 3 times better retention, and cut cost per hire by up to 50 to 70 percent. That turns into fewer empty shifts, fewer missed orders, more stable teams, and more capacity without more headache.

We are building the modern talent system for America’s industrial base with a simple long term goal: put a billion industrial workers to work in good jobs that matter.
