Machinist Interns (Elgin Community College)

The CNC Machinist role is an opportunity for machinists to build a career in an industry that is challenged to support the future of the power grid. S&C Electric Co is growing and the need for additional Machinists is critical to meet demand. The Fabrication team has more than 100 years of experiences collectively which provides a great opportunity for new team members to learn, grow, and bridge skill sets.

S&C Electric Co. US Fabrication is committed to the manufacturing and on-time delivery of these piece parts to the assembly operations with a very experienced staff of machinists who can operate a variety of work centers able to fabricate sheet steel, turn bar stock and machine raw castings into complex parts. In this job, you will work in a production environment, continuously tending a machine. After an initial training period, productivity and quality requirements must be met. Durations of set-ups and run times will vary. Tasks require a moderate degree of eye-hand coordination, manual dexterity, and the use of both hands and arms on a repetitive basis for a full range of motion.
