Our client is seeking a CNC Lathe Machinist (2nd Shift) to support the production of precision-machined components in a manufacturing environment. This role focuses on CNC lathe setup, program execution, tool/offset adjustments, and in-process inspection to ensure parts consistently meet print requirements and tight tolerances.
Salary + Additional Benefits:

• $20-$30/hr.
• Medical Insurance
• Dental Insurance
• Vision Insurance

• Set up and run CNC lathe equipment to produce precision parts to print, setup documentation, and quality expectations.
• Prepare machines for production by loading programs, confirming tooling, and completing safe trial runs prior to full-cycle machining.
• Maintain dimensional accuracy by adjusting tool offsets, replacing worn tooling, and making controlled program or process changes as needed.
• Perform core turning operations such as facing, boring, threading, and grooving based on part requirements and routing.
• Interpret blueprints and machining specifications, including GD&T, to understand critical features and inspection points.
• Complete in-process and final checks using precision measuring tools (e.g., micrometers, calipers, bore gauges) and document results as required.
• Monitor cycle performance and part quality, quickly identifying issues and coordinating corrective actions to prevent scrap or rework.
• Follow production priorities, maintain accurate job documentation, and communicate status updates to support on-time delivery.
• Support equipment reliability through routine cleaning, basic preventive care, and escalation of mechanical or tooling concerns.
• Maintain a safe, organized work area and comply with required PPE and shop safety practices.

• Hands-on experience setting up and operating CNC lathes in a production machining environment.
• Working knowledge of G-code and M-code, including the ability to run programs and make practical adjustments to maintain quality.
• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and GD&T, with a strong understanding of tight-tolerance machining.
• Proficiency using precision inspection tools (including micrometers and bore gauges) to verify critical dimensions.
• Solid knowledge of turning fundamentals, including tooling selection, speeds/feeds, and process troubleshooting.
• Strong mechanical aptitude, attention to detail, and ability to work independently while maintaining consistent part quality.
• Availability and dependability to work a second-shift schedule with an expected 50-hour workweek (with additional hours as needed).
