Manual Machinist (Mill and Lathe)

Woodbridge, ON (On-site) · Full-time · Machining · Experience: 3+ years

We are looking for a manual machinist who is comfortable on both the mill and the lathe. Much of our manual work is one-off: repair parts, tooling and fixture components, prototypes, and modifications to existing parts, often from a sketch or a worn sample rather than a full drawing.

You will plan each job, set it up, and see it through to a good part, working alongside our CNC machinists and design team.

What you will do

Manual machining

Set up and operate manual lathes, milling machines, and drill presses.
Plan the machining sequence, workholding, and tooling from drawings, sketches, or sample parts.
Turn, face, bore, thread, mill, drill, and tap parts to drawing tolerances.
Machine repair parts, modifications, and tooling and fixture components.

Quality

Measure and inspect work with micrometers, calipers, indicators, and gauges.
Check parts against drawing tolerances and surface finish requirements before they move on.

Shop support

Support CNC and fabrication jobs with secondary operations such as drilling, tapping, and deburring.
Perform routine machine maintenance and keep the work area clean and organized.

What you bring

3+ years of experience setting up and operating manual lathes and milling machines.
Ability to read and interpret technical drawings and blueprints.
Precision measurement skills using micrometers, calipers, indicators, and gauges.
Knowledge of cutting tools, materials, and machining techniques for steel, stainless steel, and aluminum.
Strong mechanical aptitude and the ability to work out a job from a sketch or sample part.

Nice to have

Surface grinding experience.
Tool and die, mould, or job-shop background.
Some CNC operating experience, or interest in learning CNC.
Russian or Ukrainian language skills.
