Manitowoc, WI Full Time
POSTED ON 9/13/2026

Set Up Machinist | 2nd Shift | Manitowoc, WI
Manitowoc Pattern & Machining (MP&M)

Good machinists can work anywhere. We want the ones who are proud to sign their work.

3 PM – 1 AM, Monday–Thursday. Every weekend is a 3-day weekend. $25 /hr, based on experience.

You didn't get into this trade to babysit a machine — you got into it to dial in a setup nobody else can, solve the problem on the fly, and hand over a part that's dead-on spec. If that's you, keep reading.

What you'll be doing:

  • Setting up CNC machining centers from blueprint to first good part — not just hitting cycle start
  • Building and modifying toolpaths
  • Optimizing tooling, feeds, and speeds
  • Reading blueprints and process sheets and catching issues before they become problems
  • Troubleshooting setups on the fly when something's not cutting right
  • Working directly with engineers on tooling and design improvements

Why MP&M:

  • Modern CNC equipment
  • Climate-controlled shop
  • $400/month childcare reimbursement
  • Stable, growing company, not a revolving door
  • Every weekend is a 3-day weekend

If you've caught yourself thinking "I wish I had better equipment," or "I want to work somewhere that actually listens to the trade,” that's exactly the gap we're trying to close.

Come see what MP&M is running.
