What are the responsibilities and job description for the CNC Operator - 2nd Shift - 1PM > 11PM position at REARDEN MANUFACTURING?
CNC Machine Operator 2nd Shift, 4x10s
The Role: Are you tired of making the same boring widgets in a sweltering shop? At Rearden, we manufacture top-tier precision firearms components, suppressor components, and optic mounts in a modern, climate-controlled manufacturing facility.
We are looking for reliable CNC Machine Operators to own our 2nd shift production. You will be working a 4-10s schedule (Monday – Thursday, 1:00 PM – 11:00 PM). The first shift ends at 4:45. Because of the afternoon overlap with our 1st shift, you won't be thrown to the wolves, you’ll catch handoffs from our first shift team, and once the machines are handed off, you own the production run for the evening.
This is currently a pure operator role not a programming or setup position, but we actively want to train and elevate your skills. If you have drive and attention to detail, we will build your career.
Why You Want to Work Here: We offer a compensation and benefits package that leads the industry, plus a guaranteed 3-day weekend, every week. These are the rough ranges for those with relevant experience.
- Mid-Level (2-5 years): $23.00 – $29.00 / hr
- Experienced (5 years): $30.00 / hr
- Elite Time Off: 3 weeks Paid Time Off 1 week Sick Leave 9 Paid Holidays
- Benefits: Excellent Health & Dental Insurance Options 401(k)
What You Will Do:
- Keep the spindles turning: Operate and maintain one or more CNC machines (Mill/Mill-Turn) to ensure high-quality, on-time delivery of precision components.
- Take ownership of the handoff from 1st shift, running production autonomously into the evening.
- Accurately read and interpret blueprints and part specifications.
- Consistently evaluate the quality of finished titanium, steel, and aluminum parts using visual inspection and manual measuring tools (calipers, micrometers, gage pins).
- Monitor tool wear and inspect tools for defects, maintaining tolerances in accordance with stringent part specifications.
- Perform daily machine maintenance (fluid levels, deburring, cleaning) to ensure peak functionality.
- Document production data and communicate any quality or machinery issues to leadership.
What You Bring to the Table:
- Previous CNC Operator experience in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
- Experience with Fanuc controls is highly preferred.
- Strong attention to detail—our parts require strict adherence to tight tolerances.
- Proficiency with a variety of manual inspection equipment.
- Physical capability to lift up to 50 pounds into machines and stand for prolonged periods during a 10-hour shift.
