We are a small shop, and we have large production runs that run us up to 400% capacity, then ............. quiet before the next storm.
Finding someone who is willing to run flat out in full production, then transition to picking up the job shop work in between has been a serious puzzle.
Someone able to build some production tooling, and other small miscellaneous jobs, might cringe at the thought of that big production run coming up next.
Conversations with other people leads me to believe that this is a difficult/diverse spot to fill.
This the body of a Craigslist ad I just posted..
Any suggestions?
[h=2]CNC Machinist [/h] compensation: dependant of experience, and abilty.
We are looking for a machinist, that is flexible, and willing to learn.
Some larger shops have separate Setup, Operators, and Programmers. You are not allowed to do any job not in your description.
Not here. Being smaller, you have the chance, and the responsibility to learn all the facets of the job.
We have mostly machining centers, and a couple turning centers.
There are jobs from many types of materials.
We run larger production orders, and also smaller jobs, requiring more experience.
Getting the large production orders running smoothly requires creativity, and attention to detail.
With the right attitude these production jobs can be rewarding.
We repair our own machinery, and we build some machinery.
There is Always something interesting to do, and new things to learn.
How many ways do you fit into this shop? What do you want to learn?
We will consider any level of experience, more experience preferred.
Ideally, you want to expand your capabilities, more than you could in large organizations.

. As others have said, use a temp agency for the time you need the operator, and keep the machinist on full time, or part time if you can find one willing to work part time.
