gpac

CNC Lathe MachinistNOT A BUTTON-PUSHING CNC JOB.You see a print. You see the setup. You know what needs to happen.We need a CNC Lathe Machinist who likes difficult work—the kind involving custom parts, tight tolerances, challenging setups, and real problem-solving.This role is for the machinist who would rather make a complex, precision component than spend every shift running the same production part.YOUR SHIFT, IN A FEW WORDSSet it up. Dial it in. Measure it. Make it right.WHAT YOU'LL OWN? CNC horizontal-lathe setup and operation ? Tooling selection, workholding, offsets, feeds, and speeds ? Blueprint interpretation, GD&T, and tight tolerances ? Basic program edits and on-the-fly machine adjustments ? In-process and final inspection ? Solving tooling, dimensional, and machining issues before they become scrapTHE WORKNot high-volume. Not repetitive. Not "load, unload, repeat."You'll machine precision steel and industrial-metal components in a low-volume, high-mix environment. Expect challenging custom work where your judgment and craftsmanship matter.Experience with large shafts, gears, gearboxes, heavy industrial components, or job-shop machining is especially valuable.YOU'LL PROBABLY FIT HERE IF…You can set up and run CNC lathes without needing constant directionYou read blueprints like a road mapYou understand GD&T and close-tolerance machiningYou know how to use micrometers, calipers, bore gauges, and indicatorsYou are comfortable changing offsets, tooling, and cutting parametersYou take personal ownership of the finished partYou would rather solve a machining problem than work around itTHE BOTTOM LINEThis is a role for a skilled machinist—not an operator.If you want to work on parts that require thought, precision, and pride, apply today.Please submit a resume for consideration.
