All new hires receive comprehensive training on first shift before moving into their designated shift and division.ResponsibilitiesSet up and operate a variety of CNC machine tools, including Mazak, Haas, Doosan, Johnford, Okuma, Puma, and Alpha machines, to produce precision parts to tight tolerances (down to +/- 0.0001).Perform full CNC setups, including tool changes, offsets, and adjusting speeds and feeds to optimize machining performance and part quality.Interpret and edit G and M codes, understanding the function of each code, and make program edits as needed using Fanuc controls and Mastercam-generated programs.Perform manual machining operations on vertical turret lathes (VTLs), Bridgeports, manual mills, manual lathes, and turning centers as required.Calculate dimensions and tolerances using shop math and measuring instruments such as micrometers, calipers, verniers, and gauges.Align and secure holding fixtures, cutting tools, attachments, accessories, and materials onto machines to ensure safe and accurate setups.Read and interpret standard and advanced blueprints, including GD&T symbols, to determine machining operations, sequence, and dimensions.Conduct in-process and final quality inspections using micrometers, calipers, gauges, and other precision measuring tools to verify parts meet specifications.Perform changeovers on machines for shorter production runs, ensuring efficient setup and minimal downtime between jobs.Operate overhead cranes to safely load and unload large parts, including components up to approximately six-foot beds.Execute surface grinding on flat plates when required to achieve specified finishes and tolerances.Follow job shop practices by working on multiple, varied jobs rather than repetitive production, especially in the bearings, seals, and hydraulics division.Collaborate with team members and follow established machining procedures, safety standards, and quality processes across different divisions.Participate in training on first shift for at least 90 days, learning company-specific processes, equipment, and safety practices before transitioning to the assigned shift.Support outage season work by maintaining a full schedule and being available for additional hours as needed, particularly on second shift.Essential SkillsAt least 3 years of high-level CNC setup experience on larger parts, including G and M coding and program edits.Proficiency with Fanuc controls for CNC machining and program adjustments.Demonstrated experience loading and positioning large parts using an overhead crane.Strong ability to read and interpret blueprints, including complex and advanced drawings.Hands-on experience performing quality inspections using micrometers, calipers, gauges, and verniers.Solid understanding of GD&T and shop math to calculate dimensions, tolerances, and machining parameters.Practical knowledge of mechanics, shop math, metal properties, layout, and standard machining procedures.Ability to perform CNC setups on multiple machine brands, including Mazak, Haas, Doosan, Johnford, Okuma, Puma, and Alpha.Capability to adjust speeds and feeds, perform tool changes, and manage tool offsets to achieve optimal results.Comfort working with tight tolerances, including production runs held to +/- 0.0001.Experience operating in a job shop environment with varied, non-repetitive work.Ability to safely operate and work around large machining equipment and overhead lifting devices.Additional Skills & QualificationsManual machining experience on VTLs, Bridgeports, manual mills, manual lathes, and turning centers.Full CNC programming experience, either conversational or using CAD/CAM systems.Mastercam experience for programming and editing CNC machining operations.Tool and die experience, particularly with precision tooling and complex components.Surface grinding experience on flat plates to achieve specified finishes and tolerances.Experience with large-part machining, including components up to approximately six-foot beds.Experience in vertical turret lathe operations and complex job shop work.Familiarity with working in repair services or outage-related environments where schedules can be intensive and time-sensitive.Why Work Here?The company operates in the power generation and turbine sector, supporting critical infrastructure such as data centers, which provides stable and consistent work. The organization takes pride in maintaining a clean, organized, and safety-focused shop environment with very few incidents. Leadership invests in modern equipment and upgrades annually, reflecting a commitment to long-term growth and operational excellence.

Employees benefit from a strong safety culture, a supportive management team that cares about the work environment, and a competitive benefits package that rewards dedication and skill.Work EnvironmentThe role is based in a large, job shop-style machining facility with multiple divisions, including a parts division and a bearings, seals, and hydraulics division. The shop floor is extremely clean, well-organized, and structured into different areas for various types of work. There is a mix of older and newer equipment, and the company invests heavily in upgrading machinery each year. First shift typically runs from 6:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, with some optional overtime at the end of the day or on Saturdays.

Second shift generally runs from 2:00 p.m. to 12:30 a.m., Monday through Thursday, with an additional eight-hour shift on Friday and some six-hour Saturday shifts, totaling approximately 50 to 58 hours per week and including a 20% shift differential. All training occurs on first shift for at least 90 days before transitioning to the assigned shift. The bearings, seals, and hydraulics division operates as a repair services shop with multiple concurrent jobs and a full schedule during outage season. Employees regularly use CNC machines with Fanuc controls, vertical turret lathes, Bridgeports, manual mills and lathes, overhead cranes, and precision measuring tools such as micrometers, calipers, verniers, and gauges.

The environment emphasizes safety, organization, and high-quality work, with a culture that supports continuous improvement and professional pride.Job Type & LocationThis is a Permanent position based out of Euclid, OH.Pay and BenefitsThe pay range for this position is $ - $ /yr.
