Job Description

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
Location: Houston, TX
Type of Position: Temp to Hire

Schedule: Monday-Friday, starting at 5:00 pm 50 hours per week.
Overtime: Saturdays


Responsibilities:
  • 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.
Requirements:
  • 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).
Due to the high volume of applications we typically receive, we regret that we are not able to personally respond to all applications. However, if you are invited to take the next step in the process, you will typically be contacted within one week of submitting your application.
