A Snapshot of Your Day

Join our team as a Horizontal Lathe Computerized Numerical Control (CNC) Machinist, where your expertise will be pivotal in manufacturing large generator shafts for the power generation industry. Imagine working on shafts that can reach up to 46 feet in length and weigh as much as 275 tons! You will adhere to safety requirements, follow engineering drawings, and execute manufacturing processes with precision. Your role will involve performing setups, collaborating with crane operators, and aligning workpieces in the lathe. With a focus on continuous improvement, you will engage with your technical support team to enhance machining techniques and contribute to our knowledge base. Your ability to work independently while fostering collaboration will ensure successful product delivery to our global customers.

How You'll Make an Impact

• You will semi-finish and finish machining of large electrical generator rotor shafts made from alloy steel forgings, weighing up to 275 tons.
• Setup and align rotor forgings using steady rests to ensure precision and stable machining processes on various large-scale CNC lathes.
• Interpret engineering drawings and quality control documents to guarantee accurate machining and error-free results.
• Inspect work during machining stages using advanced measuring devices to verify conformance to engineering requirements.
• Participate in continuous improvement initiatives through the application of the 5S methodology within a Lean Production System.
