Manual Lathe Machinist
$24 - $27 per hourLaborup
Overview
We're hiring Manual Lathe Machinists for our industrial automation equipment shop in Greenback, TN.
We build automation equipment used by manufacturing companies worldwide, machines combining precision-machined parts with pneumatics, hydraulics, electronics, and controls. This role centers on the manual horizontal lathe: turning components and partially built assemblies mounted on turning jigs to exact runout with perfectly smooth transitions.
When you're off the lathe, you'll build high-mix, low-volume mechanical assemblies to print and GD&T. We're a small-to-medium shop, so the work is varied and every builder shapes the finished machine.
Why Join Us
- Four-Day Week : Monday–Thursday schedule means a three-day weekend every week.
- Two Trades : Run the manual lathe and build complete automation machines.
- Global Reach : Machines you build run in manufacturing plants worldwide.
Compensation
- $24 – $27 / hr
Shift
- 1st shift: Monday–Thursday, 6:00 AM – 4:30 PM
Responsibilities
- Manual Turning : Turn components and assemblies to exact diameters and runout.
- Jig Work : Mount and turn segments on specialized turning jigs.
- Inspection : Verify critical dimensions with micrometers, calipers, and dial indicators.
- Mechanical Assembly : Build systems from machined parts, welded components, shafts, and fasteners.
- Blueprint Reading : Work to engineering drawings, work instructions, and GD&T tolerances.
- Pneumatics : Install actuators and route air lines cleanly and safely.
- Troubleshooting : Flag machining or assembly issues early and propose practical fixes.
- Documentation : Complete in-process quality checks and traceability paperwork.
