- Why This Role Exists

Wagner Machine Inc. has been delivering precision machining and fabrication services since 1957. As an ISO 9001:2015 and AS9100 Rev. D certified shop, Wagner supports customers across aerospace, heavy industrial, and custom manufacturing sectors.

This role exists to support continued demand in their high-mix, job shop environment. Unlike production facilities, Wagner specializes in one-off prototypes and short-run machining where setup skill, blueprint interpretation, and independent problem-solving are essential.

This is not a button-pushing position — it’s hands-on machining where craftsmanship matters.

In this role, you will:

Set up and operate CNC mills and lathes in a true job shop environment

Run one-off prototypes and short-run batches (typically 20–50 pieces)

Interpret blueprints, drawings, and GD&T

Perform tooling selection, offsets, and machine adjustments

Inspect your own work to ensure tight tolerance accuracy

Troubleshoot setups and machining challenges independently

Work across a variety of materials and part sizes

Every day brings something different — new parts, new setups, new challenges.
