Employer: Area Temps, Inc. Location: Cleveland, Ohio Pay: $19.00 per hour Type: Full-time, on-site
What You’ll Do:
You’ll operate CNC mills, lathes, drill presses, and saws to produce precision metal parts. Your responsibilities include reading customer blueprints, accurately using measurement tools like micrometers and calipers, maintaining a clean workspace, and adhering closely to company procedures and quality standards. Prior CNC machining experience is required.
Why It Stands Out:
Clear, consistent pay—$19/hr is transparent and competitive for entry-to-mid-level machinists in the region.
Hands-on machining role—great if you enjoy technical work and working directly with your tools.
Cleveland location—offers a strong manufacturing hub with a vibrant community and solid professional growth opportunities.
Potential Trade-offs:
On-site only—remote work isn’t an option.
Repetitive tasks may require stamina and attention to detail during steady production cycles.
Entry-level wage could feel modest depending on your experience level and cost of living.
This opportunity suits a hands-on machinist looking to work in a solid manufacturing environment with consistent hours and clear expectations.
Would you take this job? Does the steady front-line machining work and hourly clarity appeal to you—or would you prefer something more specialized, shift-flexible, or higher paying?
$19/hr via Area Temps feels low for CNC in Cleveland unless it’s strictly running parts with no setups or programming. If they expect setups or 2–3 years experience, I’d want $22–26 plus OT — what shift is it and is there a path to direct hire?
$19/hr feels low for running mills and lathes in Cleveland unless it’s strictly operator work with no setups or edits — most places I’ve seen are closer to $22–26. Is this temp-to-hire through Area Temps, and do they offer OT or a shift diff?
I did a similar Area Temps gig in Parma at $19; it was strictly tending two mills with basic offsets and no programming, and they bumped me to $22 after 60 days when I took on setups. Ask up front about temp-to-hire terms, shift diff, and who supplies mics - those details make or break it.
