Job Description

We’re looking for a highly skilled Manual Lathe Machinist to join our precision machining team in a bright, fully air-conditioned facility.

This is not a training position — applicants must be fully capable of setting up and operating manual lathes independently and producing high-accuracy parts from start to finish.

Requirements

• Minimum five years of recent, hands-on manual lathe setup and machining experience in a job-shop, toolroom, repair, or short-run precision environment.

• Strong ability to read, interpret, and machine directly from blueprints.

• Proven experience holding tight tolerances to ±.0005" on steel components.

• Skilled in using dial indicators, bore gauges, micrometers, and calipers.

• Competent with optical comparators for checking and confirming work.

• Solid understanding of concentricity, parallelism, and precision finishing.

• Thorough attention to detail, quality control, and inspection documentation.

• Comfortable adapting to short-run, ever-changing part geometries — almost every job is unique.

• Must be able to speak, read, and write in English (Polish, Bulgarian, and Spanish also spoken here).

Benefits

• Full benefits package, including 401(k), vacation pay, and medical (for full-time employees).

• Air-conditioned facility with a respectful, experienced team.

• Full-time or part-time opportunities available.

If you take pride in precision, craftsmanship, and quality — and have the experience to back it up — we’d like to hear from you.

You should be proficient in:

• Troubleshooting Skills
• Tape Measure Reading
• Precision Measurement & Hand Metrology
• Advanced Inspection & Gauge Measurement
• Machine Geometry & Alignment
• Manual Machining Skills

Machines & technologies you'll use:

• Turning Lathe
• Optical Comparator
• Manual Lathe
• Engine Lathe (Swi, Milltronics, Leblond, Jet, Pryibil, Southbend, Sharp)
• Band Saw
