  • Read and interpret blueprints, technical drawings, work orders, dimensions, and tolerances
  • Determine machining operations, tooling requirements, speeds, and feeds
  • Perform roughing and finishing operations to required specifications
  • Verify dimensions using precision measuring equipment including micrometers, calipers, gauges, and dial indicators
  • Troubleshoot machining issues and adjust setups as necessary
  • Perform repair machining and fabrication of custom or one-off components
  • Collaborate with team members on complex repairs and projects
  • Assist with equipment maintenance and general shop duties as needed
  • Maintain quality, safety, and production standards

Responsibilities

  • 2+ years experience operating and setting up manual lathes, mills, and conventional machining equipment
  • Ability to read and interpret blueprints and technical drawings
  • Strong understanding of machining principles, cutting tools, materials, speeds and feeds, and surface finishes
  • Experience with repair machining, fitting, and custom fabrication is highly preferred
  • Proficiency using micrometers, calipers, dial indicators, gauges, and other precision measuring equipment
  • Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team in a production shop environment
  • Vocational training, apprenticeship, or machining certifications are a plus
