Job description

Precision Manufacturing Operator — Aluminum Die‑Cast Components

Location: North Billerica, MA (On-Site)

Ready to launch a hands-on manufacturing career?

What if you could contribute to parts used in aircraft, medical devices, advanced robots, and defense systems—without prior CNC experience? At Orion Castings, you can. We’ll train you from day one and even reimburse approved CNC coursework so you can earn credentials and accelerate your growth.

Who we are

Orion Castings has been a North American leader in full-service die casting since 1970—working in aluminum, zinc, and magnesium to deliver premium parts and assemblies. Our North Billerica Division powers large-scale, advanced contract manufacturing and thrives on pushing the boundaries of precision and performance.

When you’ll work

  • 1st Shift: Monday – Thursday | 6:00 AM – 4:30 PM (Four 10-hour shifts)
  • 2nd Shift: Monday – Thursday | 4:00 PM – 3:30 AM (Four 10-hour shifts)

What you’ll earn

  • 1st Shift Target Range: $17.00 – $26.25 / hour (Base wage set by experience)
  • 2nd Shift Target Range: $18.70 – $28.88 / hour (Base $17.00 – $26.25 + 10% shift premium)

Benefits you can count on

  • Medical, Dental, Vision, Life Insurance and more
  • 401(k) with company match
  • PTO plus 11 paid company holidays
  • Development: Paid hands-on training and CNC course reimbursement with clear advancement pathways

What your day might look like

You begin by reviewing work instructions and safety checks. You load a batch of parts into a CNC machine, start the production cycle, and use simple gauges to verify measurements—logging results as you go. You notice a tool showing wear, flag it to your supervisor, and keep the workflow on target. Before the end of the shift, you help with routine housekeeping to keep the cell clean and organized.

Core responsibilities

  • Operate CNC machinery safely; load and unload parts accurately.
  • Measure parts using basic tools and maintain precise inspection logs (training provided).
  • Meet required production rates and sustain steady workflow.
  • Report defective materials, machine variances, or any questionable conditions to a supervisor promptly.
  • Follow detailed work instructions and adhere to OSHA and Orion Castings safety requirements.
  • Perform additional production and housekeeping duties as needed.

What you’ll bring

  • Numeracy & Measurement: Solid basic math and measurement accuracy.
  • Curiosity & Drive: Eagerness to learn new technical skills quickly and correctly.
  • No Experience Needed: We will train motivated candidates.
  • Reliable Transportation: Consistent commute to our North Billerica, MA facility.
  • Quality Mindset: Careful, thorough, and precise work.
  • Safety Commitment: Proactive about minimizing hazards for yourself and others.
  • Dependability: Trustworthy, punctual, and accountable.
  • Team Communication: Clear exchanges with peers and leadership.

Physical demands

  • Regularly remain at a designated workstation on the production floor.
  • Frequently lift and move production parts up to 20 lbs.

Grow your future

Join us to build a foundation in CNC operations, earn certifications with CNC course reimbursement, and advance into specialized machining, quality, or engineering roles. Many on our team choose to make their entire career here—come see why.
