CNC Lathe Machinist

Company: Triatic, Inc.
Location: West Hartford, CT 06110
Pay: Up to $49/hour, depending on experience
Job Type: Full Time
Shift: 1st Shift, Monday-Friday, 7:00 AM-3:30 PM

Why this job is worth considering

Triatic is a high-mix manufacturer that needs a machinist to own CNC lathe setup and operation on 2-axis lathes, with real room to grow into full CNC programming over time. About 90% of the work in this role is lathe-based, so it's a strong fit for someone who wants to go deep on lathe work rather than bounce between a dozen different machine types. The shop runs one shift, Monday through Friday daytime hours, and gives machinists the independence to run their own work with support available when needed.

What you'll be doing

• Set up and operate CNC lathes, primarily 2-axis machines, with frequent changeovers between jobs
• Read blueprints and GD&T callouts to plan setups and hold tolerances
• Select tooling and set offsets for each job
• Troubleshoot issues during setup and production runs
• Perform in-process quality checks using micrometers and indicators
• Run CNC and manual equipment as needed
• Edit or write CNC programs as experience allows, with room to grow into more programming over time

Machines, controls and software

The primary daily equipment is Okuma CNC lathes and Haas CNC equipment, mostly 2-axis lathes with some conversational (Trak) programming. The role also touches Okuma CNC mills, 3- and 4-axis milling equipment, Bridgeport mills, and manual lathes. CAMWorks is the shop's primary CAM software; Mastercam or similar CAM experience is transferable.

What we're looking for

Required

• Strong CNC lathe background
• Ability to read blueprints and GD&T
• Experience using micrometers and indicators for in-process inspection
• Mechanical aptitude and the ability to work independently

Preferred

• Manual machining experience
• CNC programming experience
• CAMWorks experience
• Okuma or Haas experience

Pay, benefits and schedule

Pay is up to $49/hour, depending on experience. This is a 1st shift, Monday-Friday role from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM, with a 30-minute lunch and breaks built into the day. Overtime is available.

• 2 weeks of vacation to start, with a 3rd week after about a year
• Health insurance
• Standard holidays, including Columbus Day
