We are looking for a manual lathe machinist. Much of our manual turning is one-off: shafts, bushings, sleeves, and pins for repairs, tooling and fixture components, prototypes, and modifications to existing parts, often from a sketch or a worn sample rather than a full drawing.
You will plan each job, set it up, and see it through to a good part, working alongside our CNC machinists and design team.
What you will do
Manual turning
- Set up and operate manual engine lathes.
- Plan the machining sequence, workholding, and tooling from drawings, sketches, or sample parts.
- Hold work in 3- and 4-jaw chucks, collets, and between centres, and indicate it true.
- Turn, face, bore, groove, and cut internal and external threads to drawing tolerances.
- Machine repair parts, modifications, and tooling and fixture components.
Quality
- Measure and inspect work with micrometers, calipers, indicators, and gauges.
- Check diameters, concentricity, threads, and surface finish against the drawing before parts move on.
Shop support
- Support CNC and fabrication jobs with secondary operations such as drilling, tapping, and deburring.
- Perform routine machine maintenance and keep the work area clean and organized.
What you bring
- 3+ years of experience setting up and operating manual lathes.
- Ability to read and interpret technical drawings and blueprints.
- Precision measurement skills using micrometers, calipers, indicators, and gauges.
- Knowledge of cutting tools, materials, and machining techniques for steel, stainless steel, and aluminum.
- Strong mechanical aptitude and the ability to work out a job from a sketch or sample part.
Nice to have
- Surface grinding experience.
- Tool and die, mould, or job-shop background.
- Some CNC operating experience, or interest in learning CNC.
- Russian or Ukrainian language skills.
