Vane Post Machining - Machinist 3rd shift

Job Summary 

We’re looking for a Machinist to join our aerospace shop.

You’ll be running CNC equipment to make and repair close‑tolerance aircraft parts in an FAA‑regulated environment, so quality, safety, and paperwork matter.

This isn’t hack‑and‑go work—parts need to be right, documented, and done by the book. 

 

If you’re someone who takes pride in good parts, clean setups, and doing things the right way, you’ll fit in well here. 

 

You’ll get your daily priorities from the Cell Supervisor or Work Leader and be trusted to handle your work with minimal oversight. 

 

Work That Matters 

At Chromalloy Carson City, your work directly supports aviation safety and reliability.

Our teams repair and manufacture critical aerospace components used across the global aviation industry.

What you do here has real-world impact—every day. 

 

Shift: 3rd shift, Mon-Fri, 10.30PM-7.00AM

Shift Differential: Overnight positions include a shift differential of $2–$4 per hour, depending on the assigned workdays.

Sign On Bonus: $1000.00
