Direct Hire

A manufacturer in Dayton, Ohio is hiring an experienced CNC machinist for its milling department. This is skilled work on close-tolerance parts: the shop wants someone who can take a job from print to finished part and stand behind the result.

Pay runs from $17 to $35 an hour and is set by what you can actually do. The top of that range is real, and it is there for a machinist who can set up, program and troubleshoot without being walked through it.

This is a direct-hire position on the employer's payroll from day one, not a temp placement. The target start is around the beginning of September.

Responsibilities

  • Set up and operate CNC mills on close-tolerance work
  • Read and work to blueprints and GD&T
  • Select tooling, set offsets and prove out first articles
  • Edit and troubleshoot programs at the control
  • Inspect your own work with mics, calipers and indicators

Requirements

  • Hands-on CNC milling experience in a machine shop
  • Able to read blueprints and hold tight tolerances
  • Comfortable setting up jobs and proving them out
  • Able to work on site in Dayton, OH

Benefits

  • Direct hire on the employer's payroll from day one
  • Pay set by skill, up to $35 an hour
  • Full-time, permanent position

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. Your certifications are verified with documented proof before we submit you, so the interview starts from trust.
