Tired of pushing "Cycle Start" all day?
If you're a machinist who prefers a hand-wheel to a touchscreen, we want to talk to you. We aren't looking for a button-pusher; we're looking for a true craftsman.

At Krueger Bearings, our Manual Machinist tackle the jobs CNC machines can't touch. From one-off to "rescue missions" on critical repair parts, your mechanical intuition and manual dexterity are the stars of the show here.

Why You'll Love This Role

• The Ultimate Variety: No "million-part runs" here. Every day brings a new blueprint, a new material, and a new challenge.
• Tool & Die Precision: If you have a Tool & Die background, you'll be in your element. We value the "old school" grit and precision required to build, fix, and innovate from scratch.
• Total Ownership: You own the process-from selecting your cutters and speeds to the final inspection.
• Respect for the Craft: We provide the heavy-duty iron (Bridgeports and more); you provide the brainpower.

What You Bring to the Bench

• The "Machinist's Eye": You can look at a worn-out part or a rough sketch and see exactly how to fixture it and cut it.
• Precision Pedigree: You're comfortable holding tolerances that make others nervous
• Problem-Solving DNA: You know how to "work around" a problem using shop math, custom jigs, and sheer ingenuity.
• The Toolbox: You have [3-5+] years of manual experience and a deep understanding of metal behavior (ferrous, non-ferrous, and the tough stuff).

What's In It For You?

• Top-Tier Pay: We pay for the skill you've spent years perfecting.
• Solid Benefits: Health, Dental, HSA company match, 401k Match, and PTO and more.
• The Shop Culture: A clean, temperature controlled environment.
