CNC Machining Jobs Hiring This Week — August 5, 2026
There are some very good CNC machining jobs open this week.
Not just operator jobs, either.
Shops are hiring experienced machinists, setup people, CNC programmers and CAD/CAM engineers. Several are offering relocation help, strong benefits and schedules that go beyond the standard five-day workweek.
Here are the CNC jobs worth a closer look this week.
Featured CNC Machining Opportunity in Newport News, Virginia
A major defense manufacturer in Newport News is hiring experienced CNC and manual machinists to help build U.S. Navy aircraft carriers and submarines.

Bonus package: Up to $10,000
Additional support: Relocation assistance and $1,000 in travel support
