What I'm seeing this week
If you run a shop with a machinist seat that's been open for months, we put together a short read: Getting a Skilled Machinist Onsite Is Easier Than You Think. The short version: a contract machinist can be at your machine in a few weeks, hireCNC handles pay, insurance and benefits, and you can stay patient while you find the right full-time hire.
And if you're a machinist who likes the flexibility of contract work, these roles are open right now:
Contract CNC Lathe Machinist III (Woburn, MA) — $45/hour plus $175/day per diem
Contract CNC Lathe Machinist – Setup (Gray, LA) — $38/hour plus $175/day per diem
CNC Machinist – Weekday Overnight (Sauk Rapids, MN) — $36–$42/hour
The Woburn and Gray roles are 3-month assignments with a possible extension.
