• Perform turning, reaming, boring, facing, and threading operations.
• Read blueprints, job routers, and work instructions to determine tooling needs and the sequence of operations.
• Maintain close tolerances and achieve required surface finishes.
• Use precision measuring instruments and inspection techniques to verify dimensional accuracy and finished-part quality.
• Identify machining issues and contribute to process improvements.
• Meet established quality and productivity standards while following safety procedures and wearing required PPE.
• Maintain a clean, organized work area and assist with other equipment or duties as needed.

What You’ll Bring

• Prior CNC lathe machining experience, including machine setup.
• Ability to read and interpret blueprints, GD&T, gages, and work instructions.
• Strong mechanical aptitude and basic math skills, including decimal calculations.
• Attention to detail and a commitment to producing accurate, high-quality work.
• Effective problem-solving and communication skills.
• Dependability, regular attendance, and the ability to work well with coworkers and leadership.
• Availability to work required overtime, which may be substantial during peak production periods.
• High school diploma or GED.

Physical Requirements

This role involves standing for extended periods; lifting and/or moving up to 25 pounds; and bending, twisting, carrying, walking, sitting, stooping, and kneeling as needed. Candidates must be able to perform the essential functions of the position, including job-related vision requirements, with or without reasonable accommodation.
