A precision job shop in Cincinnati, Ohio is adding a CNC machinist to its lathe and milling departments. The work is high-mix and low-volume: prototypes, repair parts and small to medium production runs.

They want someone who sets up, edits and runs their own jobs, not a button pusher. Programming from scratch is ideal, but solid program editing at the machine is enough to be considered.

This is a direct-hire, full-time position.

Responsibilities

  • Set up and run CNC lathes and 3-axis and 4-axis vertical mills
  • Program, edit and run jobs at the machine
  • Read blueprints and GD&T, and pick tooling and fixturing to hold tolerance
  • First-piece and in-process inspection with calipers, micrometers, bore gauges and CMM
  • Machine steel, stainless, cast iron, aluminum, exotics and plastics
  • Basic machine maintenance and a clean, safe work area

Requirements

  • 3 to 5 or more years of CNC machining experience
  • Able to set up, run and program or edit CNC jobs
  • Strong blueprint reading and GD&T
  • High-mix, low-volume shop experience
  • Fanuc, Haas or Mazak controls preferred
  • GibbsCAM or Fusion 360 preferred

Benefits

  • $25 to $35 an hour, based on experience
  • Health, dental and vision insurance
  • 401(k) and HSA
  • Paid vacation and holidays
  • Quarterly profit sharing
  • Fully air-conditioned shop
  • Overtime available

Direct hire means you go on the employer's payroll from day one. Melben is the recruiter, not the employer, and our fee is paid by the company. We verify your certifications with documented proof before we submit you, so the employer does not have to question them in the interview.
