What are the responsibilities and job description for the CNC & Manual Machinist (5+ years of experience) position at Parham's Welding & Fabrication, Inc.?
Experienced CNC & Manual Machinist
Parham’s Welding & Fabrication / Par
Prince George, VA
This Is Not a Button-Pushing Job.
We are looking for a highly skilled, experienced machinist who takes pride in their craft and wants to be challenged every day.
If you’re looking for repetitive production runs and mindless operator work, this isn’t the place.
If you want to solve problems, machine complex parts, think critically, and continually grow your skill set — keep reading.
About Us
We are a growing, high-mix CNC and fabrication shop serving major manufacturers across Virginia and beyond. Our work ranges from:
- Custom one-off repair components
- Reverse-engineered OEM replacements
- Large shafts, pins, bushings, and precision components
- Tight-tolerance CNC work
- Emergency breakdown parts for industrial plants
No two weeks look the same here.
We are constantly working on new, challenging parts that require real machining knowledge — not just loading a program and pushing cycle start.
What We’re Looking For
We are hiring a true machinist — someone who can:
- Read and interpret complex blueprints
- Set up and run CNC mills and lathes independently
- Program at the machine (or strong editing skills)
- Run manual mills and lathes confidently
- Hold tight tolerances
- Work through setups and problem-solve without constant supervision
- Understand tooling, speeds/feeds, and material behavior
You should be comfortable going from raw material to finished part.
We are not hiring entry-level operators.
Why This Role Is Different
Constantly changing work — rare production monotony
Real problem-solving
High-skill machining
Opportunity to grow with a scaling company
Work that directly supports major manufacturers
Ability to take ownership of jobs
If you enjoy figuring out how to machine something that “can’t be bought online,” you’ll fit here.
What We Offer
- Competitive pay based on experience and skill
- Healthcare and IRA benefits
- Overtime opportunities
- Stable, growing company
- Modern CNC equipment manual machines
- A shop that values craftsmanship
- A leadership team that understands machining
- Heated and Cooled Shop
We respect machinists here. Skill matters.
Ideal Candidate
- 5 years machining experience (CNC manual preferred)
- Able to work independently
- Takes pride in quality
- Shows up ready to work
- Wants to continually improve their craft
If you’re an experienced machinist who wants more than just a paycheck — and you’re ready to put your skills to the test — we want to talk to you.
