Why This Role Exists

Queen City Mfg is continuing to grow and expand machining capabilities. This role exists to strengthen our team with skilled setup-capable machinists who can independently run jobs from blueprint to finished part.

This is not a button-pushing position. This role is for a machinist who takes pride in craftsmanship, values precision, and wants to continue expanding their capabilities — including exposure to larger, specialized equipment such as horizontal boring mills (HBMs) and vertical turret lathes (VTLs).

The Work You'll Be Doing

In this role, you will:

- Perform complete machine setups including tooling selection, workholding, and offset adjustments
- Review job routers and complex blueprints to determine optimal machining sequences
- Set speeds, feeds, and adjust programs at the machine to optimize cycle times and quality
- Run lathe and/or mill operations depending on experience
- Perform first-article and in-process inspections using micrometers, calipers, and depth gauges
- Maintain tight tolerances and consistent quality standards
- Contribute to a protected, organized, and professional shop setting

You'll have the opportunity to expand your skillset and work on larger, specialized equipment as you grow within the organization.
