Why This Role Exists
Due to steady workload and continued custom machine-building projects, Berran Industrial Group is adding a Manual Machinist to support low-volume, precision component production.
This role plays a key part in building custom automation systems, precision assemblies, and specialty equipment — not high-quantity production work. Every project is unique and built to order.

The Work You’ll Be Doing
In this role, you will:
- Set up and operate manual Bridgeport mills (primary focus)
- Perform manual lathe work as needed
- Select tooling, indicate parts, and verify workholding
- Machine low-volume, custom components
- Read blueprints and work from sketches/designs
- Hold tolerances appropriate to precision machine-building work
- Perform first-piece and in-process inspection
- Use micrometers, calipers, indicators, and standard shop measuring tools
- Maintain a safe, organized work area
This is hands-on machining — not button-pushing production.
