Job Title

Pay & Schedule$30–$50/hour (DOE)Mon–Thurs, 6:00 AM–4:00 PM (4×10s)Overtime availableThe storyYou’re the person people call for the big jobs—the veteran who can indicate a 70"+ swing part, make a plan for an awkward weldment, and hit spec on a vacuum‑chamber flange without flinching. If that’s you, step into a shop built for large‑part work: heavy envelope, serious horsepower, smart teammates, and cranes overhead so you can do what you do best—make big parts right, and make them proud.Your arena (the machines you’ll run)We’re a 50,000 sq ft facility with three bays, eight overhead cranes (10,000–20,000 lb; 23 ft under hook), forklifts up to 14,000 lb, and the iron to match. Typical platforms include:VTLs: Olympia V80 (118" swing), Olympia V60 (70" swing), and Homma VTLs—live spindle/C‑axis, 24‑tool ATC, Fanuc controls [sources].HBMs & bridge/floor mills: Doosan DB130C HBMs (33,000‑lb tables), Toshiba BTD‑110.R16 (full 4th‑axis rotary; 4.3" spindle), Shibaura BP‑150.R22, and a Mitsubishi MVR30 5‑sided bridge mill (~55,000‑lb table) [sources].5‑axis/mill‑turn & horizontals/verticals: Hermle C62 5‑axis mill‑turn, Mori‑Seiki MH‑63 HMCs, VIPER 2100, plus Okuma/Matsuura/Trak where it fits the work [sources].Parts & materials you’ll seeLarge castings, forgings, and weldments; vacuum/pressure‑vessel components; chamber hardware; one‑offs and production runs. Materials include stainless (316/duplex), steels/alloys, aluminum, copper, nickel‑based alloys (Hastelloy/Haynes), and cast iron—often to tight tolerances with NIST‑traceable QC [sources].What you’ll doOwn setups and first‑articles on VTLs, HBMs/bridge mills, and mills; plan workholding and sequencing for big/odd shapes.Run and edit at the control (Fanuc common here): G‑code/M‑code, offsets, macros, C‑axis/live spindle, 4th/5‑axis where relevant.Select tooling, set feeds/speeds across stainless, nickel alloys, steels, aluminum, copper, and cast iron; manage tool life and surface finish.Inspect as you go—mics (including large), bore gages, height gages, surface plates; collaborate with QC/CMM to release parts to spec.Rig and move large work safely (cranes, slings, spreader bars, protecteds); follow lift plans; support a clean, organized bay.Partner with programming/CAD‑CAM on manufacturability (we leverage 5‑axis and mill‑turn where it adds value).You’ll thrive here if you have10+ years of CNC large‑part machining—hands‑on with VTLs and/or HBMs/bridge mills/mills (setups, first‑article ownership).Fanuc control fluency (18T/18i/16/11 series), strong G‑code reading/editing; comfortable with macros and multi‑axis cycles.Deep tooling knowledge (carbide/HSS/indexable, big boring heads, face mills) and practical feeds/speeds judgment.Proven skill indicating and fixturing large or odd‑shaped workpieces; safe, confident crane/forklift practices.Blueprint & GD&T literacy; disciplined in‑process inspection. CMM exposure a plus.Pride in quality and throughput; safety mindset; reliability; team orientation—and the humility to both teach and keep learning.Why you’ll want to joinBenefits start after 30 days: medical, dental, visionPTO: 1 week after 1 year; 2 weeks after 2 yearsPaid holidays: 6 per yearPaid sick time: starts at 1 day/year; grows to 5 days after 5 yearsRetirement planOvertime availableRespect for your time—work hard, go home proudThe work environmentBuilt for large‑part success: 50,000 sq ft; 3 bays; 8 overhead cranes (10k–20k lb; 23' under hook); forklifts to 14,000 lb; dock & ground loading [sources].Materials and processes span stainless/duplex, nickel alloys, steels, aluminum, copper, cast iron; fabrication and waterjet support when needed [sources].Quality culture: NIST‑based QC, inspection/testing; proud member of the New Hampshire Aerospace & Defense Consortium (NHADC) [sources].Location & scheduleOnsite in Milford, NH (relocation before start required)Mon–Thurs, 6:00 AM–4:00 PM (4×10s) with overtime available
