CNC Machinist – Lathe - 2nd Shift

Join a Company Where You’re More Than Just a Number — Become Part of the Carlson Team!

Carlson Tool & Manufacturing is growing, and we’re looking for skilled 2nd Shift Lathe Machinists who want more than just a job — they want to be part of a company that values precision, craftsmanship, and people!

Based in Cedarburg, WI
, we’re a family-owned company with over 65 years tradition of investing in our people and technology. Our culture is built on teamwork, integrity, and continuous improvement — where every team member takes pride in their work and contributes to building solutions for industries like automotive, medical, energy and consumer products.

In this role, you’ll help manufacture high-quality, precision parts — from smaller chuck work up to 160″ long and 36″ in diameter — by creating CNC lathe programs using Mazatrol, identifying tooling needs, and maintaining precise inspection records. You’ll work in a clean, climate-controlled, well-equipped facility where your skill and attention to detail make a real impact. If you’re someone who takes ownership, likes solving problems, and enjoys a quieter, more focused second shift — you’ll feel right at home here.
