    Is this you?

    Do you enjoy turning a clean setup into repeatable, in-tolerance parts? Can you read a drawing once and immediately picture your tooling plan? Are Okuma LB3000/LB4000 machines where you do your best work?

    What you’ll do

    • Set up and run Okuma LB3000 and LB4000 CNC lathes for production jobs
    • Study engineering drawings to determine zero points, tools, and operations
    • Dial in machine and tool offsets; swap and preset cutting tools proactively
    • Perform in-process and final inspections to the drawing
    • Measure with micrometers, calipers, drop indicators, height gauges, and thread gauges
    • Keep the process tight by maintaining detail orientation from first-article through completion
    • Show consistent reliability—on time, prepared, and accountable every shift

    What you bring

    • Hands-on background in CNC lathe setup and operation
    • Experience with Okuma LB3000 and/or LB4000 platforms
    • Ability to interpret and apply engineering drawings on the floor
    • Confidence making offsets and performing tool changes
    • Skill in precision measurement and hand metrology
    • Focus, accuracy, dependability, and punctuality
    • Willingness to work the second shift

    Your strengths

    • Precision Measurement & Hand Metrology
    • Machine Setups for Production Runs

    Machines & tech in play
