Job For Me

CNC Machinist jobs near you

CNC machinists turn a print and a block of metal into a part that measures exactly what the drawing says. It is precise, hands-on work with real accountability: the part either holds tolerance or it does not.

Typical pay: $22–$38 an hour in most of New England, more with Swiss or 5-axis experience.

What the day actually looks like

  • Read the print, pick the tooling, set the workholding.
  • Load or edit the program, prove out the first article, adjust offsets.
  • Inspect with micrometers, calipers, gauges — sometimes a CMM.
  • Keep the machine running and document what you changed.

How people get in

  • Operator roles often hire with no experience and train on one machine.
  • A manufacturing certificate or apprenticeship shortens the jump to setup work.
  • Blueprint reading, GD&T and measurement tools are the three skills that move pay fastest.

Before you apply to twenty of these

Most people leave a job over shift, environment or the parts of the work that quietly drain them — not over pay. Ten free minutes names those up front, then ranks these openings against you and shows the gap you'd need to close.

Common questions

How do I know if this job fits me?
Take the free assessment at https://jobforme.app/assessment. It measures nine dimensions — dependability, procedure discipline, learning speed, coachability, work pace and variety, people contact, autonomy and direction, precision demand, pressure and stakes — then scores this role against them, including shift and commute.
Where do the dimension readings on this job come from?
They are estimated from the wording of this posting: what the work asks for, in the employer's own words. They describe the role, not any person, and they are not the employer's own scores.
Is this job posted by the employer or found on a job board?
The chip on the posting says which. A “Job For Me posting” means the employer hires through Job For Me, so your fit score reaches the person doing the hiring. “Listed nearby” means we found and summarised a public board listing, and you apply on the original posting.
Does Job For Me cost job seekers anything?
No. Seekers never pay and the assessment stays free. Job For Me is decision-support software, not an employment agency, and it does not promise anyone a job. https://jobforme.app/assessment
