Master Craftsmanship Meets Advanced Manufacturing

We are seeking a highly skilled Pattern Maker (Metal) to support the creation of complex castings, molds, and tooling systems used in advanced industrial applications.

This is not an entry-level role—this is for a true craftsman who can translate complex specifications into precision-built patterns with tight tolerances and exceptional quality .

Why This Role Stands Out:
  • Top-tier pay (~$41.50/hour / ~$85K+)
  • Relocation assistance available
  • Highly specialized, high-impact work environment
  • Blend of craftsmanship + CNC/modern machining
  • Stable, long-term opportunity in a critical manufacturing segment
What You'll Do:

You will lead the end-to-end creation and refinement of complex metal patterns and molds , including:

  • Performing intricate hand finishing and build-up work on complex castings
  • Fabricating patterns, core boxes, and permanent molds from various materials
  • Executing advanced layout work to establish critical dimensional relationships
  • Setting up and operating:
    • Conventional machine tools
    • CNC equipment (including programming)
  • Utilizing SolidWorks (and similar tools) for machining and design execution
  • Performing precision bench work (fitting, scraping, polishing, finishing)
  • Verifying work against tight tolerances , accounting for shrinkage, draft, and finish
  • Identifying discrepancies in prints/specs and recommending improvements
  • Supporting continuous improvement (TPM) and maintaining high-quality standards
What You Bring:

Required:

  • High School Diploma or GED
  • 4+ years of Journeyman-level Pattern Maker experience or Journeyman license
  • Strong expertise in metal pattern making, layout, and machining
  • Ability to work without sponsorship now or in the future

Preferred:

  • Experience with SolidWorks and/or Mastercam
  • CNC programming experience (2+ years preferred)
  • Deep understanding of pattern making techniques, tolerances, and materials
Location & Relocation:
  • Based in Syracuse, NY (onsite role)
  • Relocation assistance available for qualified candidates
Why Candidates Work With Northwest Talent Solutions:

We specialize in placing hard-to-find, high-skill talent into roles like this:

  • Direct alignment with hiring leaders—not just job descriptions
  • Faster interview traction for qualified candidates
  • Expert positioning for niche, high-value skill sets
  • Transparent communication + real-time updates

Top skilled trades professionals in this niche are often secured within ~10 business days—our process is designed to keep you ahead of competing offers.
