THANKS MOPARTS!

We are currently looking for a qualified and experienced automotive machinist and engine builder to join our team. We have one of the largest and busiest engine machine shops in Stark County. We do most all brand and types of engines imaginable. We currenty have four full time employees and our constant back log of work is making it necessary for us to offer this position to better serve our large and loyal customer base.
If you are a gearhead and have experience working on engines, this position may be just for you. We are looking for a machinist that is able to accurately bore and hone blocks with a Sunnen CK-10, recondition connecting rods, deck blocks, run a flywheel and surface grinder, run an oven and tumbler cleaning system, and occasionally do valve jobs and cylinder head work. Having experience and desire to do detail oriented work on performance type engines is a plus, as is the ability to mock up, blueprint and build engines. We do a lot of performance and racing engines and strive for quality over quantity.
Some perks and benefits of our shop include a laid back and friendly atmosphere- fairly low stress, a climate controlled comfortable environment to work in year round-central air!, paid uniforms, paid vacation and sick days, optional insurance and retirement investments, and most importantly the stability and security of being family owned and operated-in business since 1980. We work 8am-5pm Monday-Friday. No weekends, no holidays and no overtime.
Job requirements include the following: EXPERIENCE AND PRIDE IN YOUR WORK AND NO COMEBACKS ! Also, the ability to accurately run at least half of the following equipment and the willingness to learn whatever you don't know from one of our very experienced machinists: a Sunnen CK-10 boring/honing and align honing machine, Van Norman surface grinder, Sunnen connecting rod equipment, Peterson head shop or Souix valve and seat grinding equipment, Bayco oven and Steelabrator shot cleaner, etc. Although not a requirement, the ability to assemble engines is an added asset. This is a drug free workplace.
We want someone who is looking for a career and a place to retire from, we do not want someone just looking to punch a time clock. We would really like someone who is under 55 and looking to put in at least 10 more years, as the owner is looking to put in another 25-30 years. It never gets dull at our shop, everyday is something different. We currently are working on engines for drag race, circle track, street performance/muscle car, sport compact. marine, truck and tractor pullers. That is not to mention the dealer and garage work made up of all brands of daily driver engines. If this type of job and work place is for you, please give us a reply email or call at (330)456-3045 and ask for Jeff.

Sounds like an awesome job! If I knew how to operate half of the equipment you have listed I'd be on your doorstep in a New York minute. Good luck with your search and I hope to get down to see your operation in the near future.

under 55, isnt that age discrimination......

Good point,Russ!

under 55, isnt that age discrimination......

Not if your under 55, but really I know two local guys who have done it most there life, shop owners and its a rough labor intensive job day in and day out.

One shut down, the other does personal work for people. They are just gimped up from year after year, day after day... So the 55 part is esy to understand as much as it sucks I understand why they would not want a already half gimped up worker.

Didnt say if over 55 a med exam would be needed....but might be smart for the employer, no one wants a big work comp claim after a year on the job.

This is not a dig on the older folks, sounds like a great job but I were 55...heck no.

Dom,

A word of advice perhaps. I own/run a shop, I have also managed employees in other business', so this is from a owner/manager point of view.

If I posted a job offering, and someone replied to me that they are interested, BUT, then asked me to call THEM, I'd throw their name in the garbage can. I am the one offering the job, its not MY responsibility to call YOU!.

Pick up the phone and call Jeff....not the other way around.If you ran a shop, you'd understand he doesnt have time to chase people down...way too many things to worry about other than that.

and to the posters talking about age, yes it can be a brutal job for the knees and back. It aint baking cupcakes, thats for sure. Be ready to work long hours and you better have a passion for the work.

Just my from an experienced point of view.

Good luck to you, and good luck to Jeff on finding a suitable employee

Point taken..........Maybe that`s why I work for myself.

Hey Jeff I was ready to move until I saw the 55 deal, Oh well.
Doug

Best wishes on finding some good help Jeff.
Have`nt seen you guys in a LONG time
Finding the right person can be a B-tch.

Tell me about cost of living in that area?Pay scale,things to do for recreation in the area,housing prices.I have run virtually all that and then some.Talk to me.

Sounds good to me except for the weather part plus I already made a fool of myself apparently by posting my number and asking them to call me but hey, it`s worked many times before. Guess you eastern boys are a bit more stern....................
