CNC Machinist

Laborup
McMinnville, TN Full Time
POSTED ON 10/13/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 12/12/2026

Overview

We’re hiring experienced CNC Machinists to join a growing precision manufacturing operation.

This is a clean, modern, highly professional shop running advanced 3-, 4-, and true 5-axis CNC equipment, including DMG, Makinos and more. Candidates who visit the facility regularly come away impressed by the quality of the operation, the equipment, and the overall working environment.

The company and the industry it serves are experiencing sustained growth, and the business continues to invest in both new equipment and skilled people to support that expansion.

You’ll receive meaningful hands-on training to get you quickly up to speed on the operation, processes, and equipment. From there, you’ll be trusted to work independently, setting up your machines, making adjustments, verifying quality, and owning the machining process throughout your shift.
