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
