Maintenance Millwright

Maintenance Millwright

This is a hands-on machining and mechanical repair role inside a production facility that runs older, custom-built equipment. The position opened because a long-tenured employee retired and they're looking for someone who can fill that gap without a lot of handholding.

No CNC. No automation. Just real machining: mills, lathes, and the ability to figure out what broke, make the part, and get the line back up.

What the Job Involves

• Use manual Bridgeport mills, lathes, and related tooling to fabricate and repair production components

• Diagnose mechanical failures on presses, roll formers, and industrial machinery

• Reverse engineer worn or broken parts when drawings aren't available

• Keep the tool room and machining area organized and functional

• Work alongside a maintenance crew and step up when equipment goes down

What They're Looking For

• At least 2 years running manual machine tools in a production or fabrication environment

• Comfortable on mills and lathes without relying on CNC or automated setups

• Strong mechanical instincts — especially on equipment that doesn't have a manual anymore

• Can work from a worn part or a rough sketch just as easily as a formal drawing

• Makes decisions independently and doesn't need someone looking over their shoulder

• Steady, dependable, and not looking for drama

Compensation & Benefits

• $40–$50/hour based on experience

• Health, dental, and vision coverage

• 401(k) with employer match

• Paid time off and holidays

• Long-standing, privately held manufacturer — stable work environment with low turnover
