Job Description

We’re hiring skilled CNC Set Up Machinists to join a stable, growing manufacturing team. You will work with some of the best equipment in the region, with a shop floor featuring everything from multi-axis and 5-axis mills to mill-turn lathes, Swiss lathes, CNC precision grinders, and Wire EDM.

In this role, you will own the setup and operation of high-mix, low-volume production runs, machining complex parts to exacting tolerances. We are looking for strong machinists who are capable of performing their own setups and first article inspections, and who want to take their craft to the next level in a true high-precision environment.

Why Join Us?

  • Top-Tier Environment: Work in an incredibly clean, modern factory setting.
  • Advanced Technology: Operate state-of-the-art, high-precision equipment—including 5-axis mills, mill-turns, Swiss lathes, and Wire EDM.
  • Growth & Stability: Join a highly stable, growing company with limitless opportunities to expand your skills across a diverse range of machines.

Compensation

  • $26 - $32 / hr
  • Overtime: Unlimited available (including Saturdays)
  • 10% shift differential on 2nd

Responsibilities:

  • Setup & Operation: Perform independent, from-scratch setups and operate a diverse range of advanced CNC equipment (including 3- to 5-axis mills, mill-turn lathes, Swiss lathes, precision grinders, or Wire EDM) in a high-mix, low-volume environment.
  • Precision Inspection: Perform first article inspections and continuous in-process monitoring using standard metrology tools (micrometers, calipers, gauges) to hold extremely tight tolerances.
  • Tooling & Offsets: Make precise tool offset adjustments, change tools as needed, and ensure all tools and gages are properly calibrated to maintain part accuracy.
  • Process Ownership: Read and interpret complex blueprints, technical drawings, and job orders to ensure all parts meet strict customer specifications.
  • Documentation: Follow established company procedures for tagging, inspection, and production documentation.
  • Maintenance & Safety: Maintain a clean, safe, and organized workstation, perform basic preventative machine maintenance, and adhere strictly to all safety and lean manufacturing policies.

Requirements

Qualifications:

Required

  • Experience: 3+ years of CNC machining experience (Turning, Milling, or Swiss).
  • Setups: Proven ability to perform independent machine setups without relying on standard operators.
  • Technical: Strong blueprint reading skills and the ability to understand and execute complex tolerances.
  • Precision: Proven ability to hold incredibly tight tolerances and perform accurate first article and in-process inspections.
  • Dependability: Highly reliable on a daily basis with the ability to work independently and as part of a team, remaining flexible for overtime needs.

Preferred

  • Advanced Machining: Specific experience with 5-axis mills, mill-turn machines, or Wire EDM is a major plus.
  • Materials: Experience machining exotic metals.
  • Education: Technical/trade school certification or additional advanced machining education.
  • Manufacturing Environment: Familiarity working within established lean manufacturing practices.

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.
