Job Description

NOT A BUTTON-PUSHING CNC JOB. CNC
Lathe Machinist You see a print. You see the setup. You know what needs to happen. We need a CNC Lathe Machinist who likes difficult work—the kind involving custom parts, tight tolerances, challenging setups, and real problem-solving. This role is for the machinist who would rather make a complex, precision component than spend every shift running the same production part.
YOUR SHIFT, IN A FEW WORDS
Set it up. Dial it in. Measure it. Make it right.
WHAT YOU'LL OWN
→ CNC horizontal-lathe setup and operation → Tooling selection, workholding, offsets, feeds, and speeds → Blueprint interpretation, GD&T, and tight tolerances → Basic program edits and on-the-fly machine adjustments → In-process and final inspection → Solving tooling, dimensional, and machining issues before they become scrap
THE WORK
Not high-volume. Not repetitive. Not "load, unload, repeat." You'll machine precision steel and industrial-metal components in a low-volume, high-mix environment. Expect challenging custom work where your judgment and craftsmanship matter. Experience with large shafts, gears, gearboxes, heavy industrial components, or job-shop machining is especially valuable.
YOU'LL PROBABLY FIT HERE IF
… You can set up and run CNC lathes without needing constant direction You read blueprints like a road map You understand GD&T and close-tolerance machining You know how to use micrometers, calipers, bore gauges, and indicators You are comfortable changing offsets, tooling, and cutting parameters You take personal ownership of the finished part You would rather solve a machining problem than work around it
THE BOTTOM LINE
This is a role for a skilled machinist—not an operator. If you want to work on parts that require thought, precision, and pride, apply today. Please submit a resume for consideration . Only those qualified applicants that provide a resume will be contacted.
