Job Description

Overview

We’re hiring CNC Machinists for our precision machining and prototyping company.

You’ll machine precision components used across energy, automotive, defense, and heavy industrial applications. The parts we produce go into systems ranging from jet turbines to steel mill infrastructure, so the work is varied, technical, and often mission-critical.

This is a high-mix, low-volume environment built around short runs, new prints, prototypes, and custom fabrication, not standing at one machine running the same part every day. You’ll have the opportunity to run jobs from setup through first article and work across 3-, 4-, and 5-axis milling centers, conventional lathes and those with live tooling.

What makes this role different:

  • Consistent optional overtime available
  • Opportunities on 1st and 2nd shift based on preference
  • Own the job from setup to first article
  • Interesting, high-mix, low-volume and prototyping work
  • New and modern 3-, 4-, and 5-axis equipment
  • Cross-training opportunities across departments and equipment
  • Machine across energy, defense, automotive, and heavy industrial applications.
  • Room for different experience levels

Compensation

  • $26 - $35 / hr (depending on experience)
  • Shift differential on 2nd
  • With optional overtime, make over $80k / yr

Hiring on 1st and 2nd Shift

  • Typically M - F schedules

Relocation

  • Relocation assistance available across Alabama and the SE

Requirements

  • Setups: Perform your own setups, including fixturing, tooling, and offsets.
  • Blueprints: Read drawings and hold the tolerances they call out.
  • G-Code: Read programs at the control to verify tooling and moves.
  • Prototypes: Machine one-off and low-volume parts from new prints.
  • First Articles: Inspect first parts before releasing the run.
  • In-Process Checks: Measure dimensions with micrometers, calipers, and indicators.
  • Tooling: Select, install, and replace cutting tools for each job.
  • Troubleshooting: Diagnose finish, size, and tool-life problems at the machine.

Qualifications

Required

  • CNC machining experience on mills or lathes
  • Ability to read and work from blueprints
  • Ability to measure with micrometers, calipers, indicators
  • Consistent, reliable attendance and punctuality

Preferred

  • Fluency reading and editing g-code
  • Ability to perform your own setups
  • Experience on 4- and 5-axis mills
  • Experience on Swiss-style lathes
  • Experience with live-tooling lathes
  • Experience in high-mix, low-volume shops
  • Defense, energy, or automotive component experience

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.
