You will work directly with advanced CNC machinery, interpret complex engineering blueprints, and ensure that close tolerance requirements are consistently achieved. The position combines hands-on machining, CNC programming, and continuous improvement activities within a modern, well-invested facility serving the growing energy sector.Responsibilities

Set up and operate CNC lathes in a shop environment to support production of large-scale power generation components and subassemblies.
Read, interpret, and edit CNC programs to ensure quality, throughput, and equipment efficiency goals are consistently achieved.
Utilize G and M code experience to program and adjust CNC lathes, ensuring accurate and efficient machining operations.
Interpret engineered blueprint drawings and work instructions to determine machining requirements and sequence of operations.
Apply a solid understanding of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) to meet design intent and ensure parts conform to specifications.
Set up and safely use various inspection tools and gauges, including inner diameter (I/D) and outer diameter (O/D) micrometers, calipers, Pi-tape, bore gauges, Tri-mics, and thread gauges.
Verify that close tolerance requirements in the range of approximately 0.0005" to 0.005" are consistently achieved by the machines.
Determine optimal machining feeds, speeds, and tool selections to balance part quality, tool life, and production efficiency.
Program and operate CNC lathes using Mazatrol controls, including vertical turning lathes, for large and complex components.
Follow detailed blueprints and work instructions to program lathes for the manufacture and service of large-scale power generation equipment and their subassemblies.
Contribute to lean manufacturing initiatives by identifying waste, improving workflow, and supporting standardized work practices.
Support continuous improvement efforts by recommending process enhancements, tooling changes, and programming optimizations.
Collaborate with engineering and production teams to troubleshoot machining issues and ensure that quality and delivery targets are met.

Essential Skills

Proven experience setting up and operating CNC lathes in a production or heavy-duty shop environment.
Demonstrated ability to read, interpret, and edit CNC programs to improve quality and efficiency.
Hands-on experience with G and M codes for CNC programming and machine operation.
Strong blueprint interpretation skills, including the ability to understand complex engineered drawings.
Working knowledge of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) and its application in machining.
Ability to set up and accurately use inspection tools and gauges such as I/D and O/D micrometers, calipers, Pi-tape, bore gauges, Tri-mics, and thread gauges.
Capability to achieve and maintain close machining tolerances in the range of approximately 0.0005" to 0.005".
Experience determining appropriate machining feeds, speeds, and cutting tools for various materials and operations.
Familiarity with Mazatrol controls and operation of vertical turning lathes.
Experience following blueprints and work instructions to program and run CNC lathes for large-scale equipment.
Preferably an associate degree or machinist-related certification with 3+ years of relevant experience, or 4+ years of experience without a formal degree or certification.
Experience in lean manufacturing and continuous improvement practices.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

Associate degree in a technical, manufacturing, or machining-related field, or a machinist-related certification (preferred).
