CNC Machinist

 

Overview

• 100% paid healthcare: Company-paid medical coverage.
• Interesting work: High-mix, low-volume production with independent setups.
• Modern equipment: True 5-axis mills, horizontal machining centers, and DMG machines.
• Real training: 2+ month onboarding plus cross-training on additional equipment.
• Long-term stability: Growing medical manufacturer investing in people and production.
