About the Role

We have an immediate need for a Production/Maintenance Machinist on the 3rd Shift (typically 11:30 PM – 6:30 AM). Training on 1st or 2nd shift may be required. In this role, you will set up and operate machine tools to produce precision turbine engine parts. Working under the direction of a leader or supervisor, you will follow verbal and written instructions, operation sheets, and drawings to operate manual or numerically controlled machines such as milling, boring, grinding, turning, broaching, and shaping equipment.

Your day will involve performing bench, assembly, and surface finishing operations, including deburring, blending, trimming, fitting, drilling, riveting, and bonding. You will utilize various hand and power tools, as well as equipment for cleaning and part preparation like tumbling, grit blasting, shot peening, buffing, and polishing. Additionally, you will apply anti-gall and polymite coatings using dry bake ovens and operate part-marking equipment. You will use fixed or variable measuring instruments to check dimensions and part features, while utilizing computer-based systems like OpCert to retrieve and store records. Routine servicing of assigned areas and equipment will also be part of your responsibilities to ensure proper operation.
