| 1st & 3rd Shift CNC Lathe Machinist

Immediate Opening | 1st & 3rd Shift CNC Lathe Machinist

Work nights. Earn more. Machine precision parts that matter.

If you're a CNC Lathe Machinist who takes pride in tight tolerances, clean setups, and quality work—and you prefer a focused, low-distraction night shift—this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.

We're hiring a CNC Lathe Machinist to join a high-precision manufacturing team producing critical components where accuracy isn't optional. This role is centered around setup expertise, machining precision, and craftsmanship—not just running parts.

No advanced programming required. You'll work from proven programs, making offset adjustments and minor edits as needed.

Why You'll Love Working Here

• Excellent 401(k)
• Medical, Dental & Vision coverage
• Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
• 15% Shift differential for 3rd shift
• Stable, full-time work in a clean, safety-first environment
• Modern equipment and high-quality materials

What You'll Be Doing

• Set up and operate CNC lathes (horizontal and/or multi-axis)
• Machine precision parts to tight blueprint tolerances
• Perform independent setups, tool changes, and changeovers
• Adjust feeds, speeds, offsets, and tooling as needed
• Conduct first-article, in-process, and final inspections
• Use precision measuring tools to ensure part quality
• Maintain a clean, organized workstation (5S standards)
• Troubleshoot machining and tooling issues

What We're Looking For

• 2–4 years of hands-on CNC lathe experience
• Experience performing independent setups
• Strong blueprint reading skills, including GD&T
• Proficiency with precision measuring instruments
• Strong mechanical aptitude and problem-solving skills

Bonus Points If You Have

• Experience with multi-axis or live tooling lathes
• Familiarity with Fanuc controls
• Experience with Nakamura or similar turning centers
• Background in aerospace, defense, or precision manufacturing
• Exposure to ISO 9001, AS9100, or similar quality systems

Why This Role Stands Out

• You own your setups and quality
• No micromanagement—your skills drive success
• Night shift = less interruption + higher pay
• Long-term stability with strong benefits and growth
