We are seeking an experienced Manual Machinist to join our well-regarded electric motor and machine shop with over 100 years of industry experience. As a third-generation family business with active family management, we believe deeply in our team and our culture. This commitment to our people has made us one of the fastest-growing and premier companies in the industry. Today, we stand as the most capable electric motor repair shop in the Midwest in terms of the sheer size and horsepower of the motors we service. We are a cornerstone of regional infrastructure, supporting critical sectors including power generation, steel and metals, chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, and paper and pulp.
This is perfect role for a true mechanical problem-solver who enjoys the challenge of restoring large-scale industrial equipment to OEM specifications. In this role, you will utilize a diverse fleet of engine lathes, horizontal lathes, milling machines, and grinders to perform precision machining and repairs.
We are looking for exceptional people to fuel our continued growth. If you are a local candidate with top-tier manual machining skills from any industry, we want to talk. If you are currently a manual machinist at a similar motor repair shop anywhere in the country and want to be part of what we are building, we want to hear from you. We are deeply committed to bringing the best talent to our shop—from a relocation standpoint, we are willing to do and pay whatever it takes to get the right person here.

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.
