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.
