Entry Level Machinist Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level machinist job?
Focus on demonstrating hands-on competency over years on the job. Employers at this level look for familiarity with manual mills, lathes, or CNC equipment, often gained through a vocational program, community college, or an apprenticeship. A portfolio of parts you have machined, even from coursework, signals readiness. Applying to manufacturers that explicitly state they welcome new graduates or will train gives you the best starting point.
Which companies hire entry level machinists?
Companies hiring entry level machinists right now include laborup, NOV, and Saint-Gobain, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. At this level, hiring tends to come from precision manufacturers, defense contractors, job shops, and industrial equipment producers that maintain active training programs for junior talent.
Are there remote entry level machinist jobs?
Yes, though machining is primarily a hands-on trade. About 0% of entry level machinist openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and those tend to be roles with a CAD or CNC programming component that can be done off the shop floor. The majority of positions still require on-site presence at a production facility or machine shop.
Are these new grad machinist jobs?
Yes. The listings here include new grad, recent graduate, and junior machinist roles alongside other entry level postings. A new grad friendly posting typically welcomes zero to two years of experience, accepts internship or apprenticeship time in place of full-time history, and may mention on-the-job training. If a listing calls for a skilled machinist with five or more years, it falls outside this category.
Which industries hire the most entry level machinists?
Entry Level machinist roles concentrate in Staffing & Recruiting, Manufacturing, and Medical Devices, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors drive hiring at the entry level because they run high-volume production or precision fabrication operations that depend on a steady pipeline of junior machinists coming up through training programs and apprenticeships.
