Experienced Night Machinist

Howell Laboratories Inc • Full-time • Gorham, Maine, United States • 3d ago

Quiet Shop. More Independence.

Why It Works:

We run a lean, capable team built on mutual trust. You’ll work alongside a quiet, dependable crew who collaborate when needed—giving you the perfect balance of team support and individual freedom.

We are 100% employee-owned, offering you, dual-track retirement benefits. Build real wealth through a company-funded stock plan on top of your standard 401(k), giving you double the leverage for your retirement goals.

Mid-career is the ultimate time to join an ESOP: You’ve got the experience to drive company growth, and enough time left on the clock to compound your retirement nest egg.

Never choose between a great manufacturing career and daytime priorities, like family, school, or personal projects. Our consistent night schedule gives you the predictable routine needed to easily manage daytime commitments.

Climate-Controlled Shop.
Smaller Shop with greater responsibility and impact.
We are Clean Shop.
Never the same twice. Our job mix is always evolving, so you’ll constantly be setting up and proving out new parts.
Overtime Available. Our shift schedule is 3:30m. - 2:00 a.m., Monday-Thursday, Friday is available for overtime.

Make Things That Matter. When you make a part here, you know it’s heading somewhere, it actually matters—and that the sailors relying on it can trust your work completely.
