Machinist II – Immediate Hire

Sole Hire is recruiting on behalf of our client, an established international pump manufacturer, for an experienced Machinist II to join their team in Hamilton, NJ.

This is an immediate opening within a small, hands-on machine shop. You'll work in a clean, temperature-controlled facility alongside an experienced supervisor and team producing precision components used in pump manufacturing.

What You'll Do

• Set up and operate CNC and/or manual lathes and mills
  

• Edit machine programs and make necessary tooling/offset adjustments
  

• Machine precision components to engineering specifications
  

• Inspect completed parts to ensure accuracy and quality
  

• Read blueprints, engineering drawings, and GD&T
  

• Troubleshoot machining and quality issues
  

• Assist with fixtures, tooling, and process improvements
  

• Perform routine equipment maintenance
  

• Maintain safety, quality, and 5S standards
  

Requirements

What We're Looking For

This is a setup machinist position—not an operator-only role.

• 4-year Certified Apprenticeship + 2 years of setup experience OR 5+ years of machining setup/operating experience
  

• Hands-on experience setting up and operating CNC and/or manual lathes or mills
  

• Ability to perform machine setups with minimal supervision
  

• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and GD&T
  

• Experience using calipers, micrometers, bore gauges, and other precision measuring tools
  

• Ability to adjust tooling and work-piece offsets to maintain accuracy
  

• Strong machining fundamentals, mechanical aptitude, and attention to quality
  

• Basic computer and math skills
  

Experience with both lathes and mills is preferred, but not required. If you're strong in one and have solid machining fundamentals, the company is willing to train a motivated and coachable machinist on the other.

• First shift – 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM
  

• Small, experienced team and hands-on leadership
  

• Clean, temperature-controlled manufacturing environment
  

• Opportunity to expand your skills across both mills and lathes
  

• Stable, long-term opportunity with an established international manufacturer
