CNC Machinist – 2nd Shift
Drive Innovation. Solve Real Problems. Make an Impact.
Elliott Tool Technologies is seeking skilled CNC Machinists for our 2nd shift (2–10 PM). Whether your background is in traditional lathe turning, EDM wire/ram, or OD grinding, we want to hear from you. Our machinists create precision components essential to industries ranging from automotive to aerospace — work that truly matters.
Why Choose Elliott Tool?
- Growth & Stability: A profitable, 135-year-old company with a 9-year average employee tenure. We aren’t going anywhere.
- Development: Comprehensive training, mentorship, and real opportunities to grow your skills and career.
- Culture: Work-life balance is built into how we operate. That’s why 2nd shift (2–10 PM) works so well for parents, students, night owls, and anyone who values owning their morning. Integrity and accountability go both ways.
What You’ll Do:
- Collaborate with team members to manufacture high-precision components.
- Plan sequences of operations by studying blueprints, CAD files, sketches, and engineering models.
- Set up and operate precision machining equipment in your area of expertise — traditional lathes (Okuma), EDM wire machines (Mitsubishi MV1200, FX, RA series), or OD grinding equipment.
- Inspect parts to exact tolerances and finishes using micrometers, optical comparators, and other precision measuring devices.
- Cross-train across machining areas to broaden your skills and support the broader Elliott team.
What’s a typical day like?
A high-priority order lands on your queue — tight tolerances, expensive material, no margin for error. You review the blueprints, set up your machine, and nail the first-piece inspection. When a minor issue arises mid-run, you troubleshoot quickly and keep production on track. By the end of your shift, every component passes final inspection. The parts ship on time, and the customer comes back. At Elliott, you aren’t just running a machine — you are solving real business challenges and making a direct impact every day.
What We’re Looking For:
- Do You Have What It Takes?
- Mechanical Aptitude: 2+ years in a precision machining environment. Hands-on expertise in at least one of the following: traditional manual lathe, EDM wire (with 1+ year specifically on EDM), or OD grinding.
- Technical Skills: Proficiency with precision measuring tools and the ability to read complex technical drawings and blueprints.
- Education: High school diploma or equivalent. Vocational or apprenticeship training is a plus.
- Locally Based: Within a 45-minute commute of Dayton, OH.
- Team-Oriented: Teachable, respectful, and focused on delivering results for your team and the customer — not just yourself.
- Results-Driven: You take ownership of your quality, keep your commitments, and consistently deliver.
