Job description

Oak is seeking a Machine Shop Manager to take full ownership of our machining operations. This is a leadership role for a highly experienced machinist who is also fluent in modern CNC programming, quoting, and quality control. You’ll be responsible for running the shop—people, parts, and processes—with minimal oversight.

You’ll receive quote requests from our sales team and be expected to independently assess risk, set schedule, prepare accurate labor / material estimates, and advise when to decline opportunities. Once jobs are approved, you’ll oversee execution : material sourcing, programming, tooling, setups, quality assurance, and delivery—while mentoring junior machinists and operators. This role is critical to ensuring that Oak delivers high-quality, defect-free parts on time and on budget.
