Automation Machinist- Entry Level

description the entry level machinist is the starting point for a machining career at deshazo — learning to set up and run cnc equipment, read prints, and produce mechanical components for our material handling equipment and automation systems, with hands-on guidance from experienced machinists. most jobs here are custom, one-off parts, so you'll be learning to work through something new far more often than repeating a process you already know. duties: • learn to safely operate cnc machining equipment under the guidance of experienced machinists. • run proven jobs — load, cycle, unload, and check parts against the print. • learn to read prints and boms, and check finished features and dimensions against them. • use standard measuring tools (calipers, micrometers, indicators) to verify parts and hold size. • learn to apply tool wear offsets, and recognize when something is off enough to stop and ask. • build toward setting up and running your own jobs as your skills develop — including jobs with little or no repeat history. • keep your workstation, tooling, and materials organized. • ask questions and flag anything uncertain rather than guessing. minimum qualifications: • high school diploma or ged, or current enrollment in a machining or manufacturing trade program. • willingness to learn hands-on machining skills from experienced machinists — no prior shop experience required. • basic computer skills (windows, microsoft word, microsoft excel). • ability to read and follow written and verbal instructions closely. • comfortable working on a variety of different parts rather than the same job repeatedly. preferred qualifications: • any exposure to a machining, cnc, or manufacturing trade school program. • some comfort with blueprints or basic shop math (fractions, decimals, geometry). • you've used calipers or micrometers before. • forklift experience. physical requirements: • regularly lift up to 25 lbs. • occasionally lift up to 50 lbs. • stand/walk for 8-10-hour shifts • be able to work in any position (reach, bend, kneel, etc.) • ability to learn quickly and retain information long term benefits available: • medical / vision / dental insurance • 401(k) plan with match • company-paid short term disability insurance • long term disability insurance available • company paid basic life insurance • employee assistance program (eap) • additional life insurance available • 9 paid holidays • pto program • tool purchase program • weekly pay periods with direct deposit • competitive pay equal opportunity employer minorities/women/protected veterans/disabled/other protected category deshazo's mission: deshazo is committed to elevating our clients' business needs through custom-built cranes and tailor-made automation systems. we enhance our products by providing expert inspections, repairs, modernizations or rebuilds.
