Job Description
Are you looking for a family-owned company where the owners still treat you like family?
We’re a tight-knit, family-run manufacturing shop that values craftsmanship, loyalty, and the people behind the machines. We’re currently hiring a skilled Lathe Machinist to run one of our Mazak CNC turning centers — no production runs, just low-quantity, high-quality jobs in a clean, well-equipped job shop.
What You’ll Be Doing:
-
Setup and operate a Mazak CNC lathe in a low-volume job shop environment
-
Run mostly 1–2 piece orders, no repetitive production work
-
Read and interpret prints and job travelers
-
Edit conversational programs using Mazatrol (ability to program is a plus, but not required)
-
Inspect parts for accuracy using micrometers, calipers, and gauges
-
Collaborate with the team and shop leadership to deliver precise, on-time work
What We’re Looking For:
-
Experience running and setting up Mazak lathes (preferably with Mazatrol control)
-
Ability to read and interpret blueprints and job specs
-
Strong attention to detail and a pride in producing quality work
-
Comfortable with low-volume, quick-changeover work
-
Solid shop math and measuring skills
-
Positive attitude and team-player mindset
What We Offer:
-
1st Shift Hours: Typically starts at 6:00 AM (we're flexible for the right person)
-
45+ hours/week available (more if you want it — we stay busy)
-
Starting Pay: $24–$30+/hr depending on experience
-
A family-first culture where you're treated with respect
-
Clean, organized shop with well-maintained equipment
-
Long-term stability with growth opportunities for those who want it
