Job description

Quoted in full from Laborup's job posting. Gavroche does not edit it.

We're hiring Senior CNC Machinists for our precision machining facility in Tulsa, OK. We build advanced custom equipment for the construction and utilities industries in a climate-controlled, high-mix, low-volume shop.

The parts are large-format, and the floor is built for them: gantry 5-axis mills, large-format 5-axis mill-turns, vertical turret lathes (VTLs), horizontal mills, and multi-pallet systems — much of it Mazak. You'll build your own setups, prove out new programs, and edit G-code right at the machine.

Why Join Us

  • Hone Your Craft: Cross-train on large-format machines few shops run.
  • Culture of Ownership: Family-owned feel and collaboration.
  • Rewarding Growth: Training, profit sharing and rapid raises as your skills expand.

Compensation

  • $29 – $34 / hr
  • $4,000 sign-on bonus
  • Profit sharing + rapid raises

Shifts

  • 2nd Shift: 4:30 PM – 3:00 AM (M-R)
  • Weekend Shift:6:00 AM – 6:00 PM (F-S)

What You'll Run

  • Mazak mills and lathes across much of the floor
  • Large-format 5-axis mill-turns
  • Gantry 5-axis mills
  • Vertical turret lathes (VTLs)
  • Horizontal mills
  • Multi-pallet systems for continuous production

You don't need experience on these exact machines. If your CNC fundamentals are solid and you're ready to learn large-scale work, we'll train you on the rest.

Responsibilities

  • Setups: Build complex setups from scratch, including custom workholding when none exists.
  • Prove-Outs: Run first prove-outs of new programs and machining processes.
  • G-Code Editing: Read, edit, and optimize G-code/M-code directly at the control.
  • First Articles: Size in parts using offsets, micrometers, calipers, gauges, and indicators.
  • Troubleshooting: Resolve machine, tooling, material, and non-conformance issues on the fly.
  • Blueprints & GD&T: Read complex drawings and hold strict GD&T tolerances.
  • Mentoring: Train other machinists and suggest process improvements on the floor.

Requirements

Qualifications

Required

  • 3+ years of CNC machining experience
  • Perform your own setups and tear-downs
  • Perform first-article inspections independently
  • Read complex blueprints and part tolerances
  • Proficient with micrometers, calipers, gauges, indicators

Preferred

  • Experience machining large-format parts
  • Hands-on Mazak mill and lathe experience
  • 5-axis mill-turn or gantry mill experience
  • VTL or large horizontal mill experience
  • Multi-pallet system setup and operation
  • Trade school certification in precision machining

Benefits

  • Medical, dental, vision
  • 401(k) with company match
  • 3 weeks PTO + holidays
  • Disability and life insurance
