Job Summary: We are seeking a manual lathe operator to operate horizontal and vertical lathes, manufacturing single parts and short production runs with precision and quality. Key Responsibilities: 1. Operate horizontal and vertical lathes to machine metal components 2. Dimensional verification and control of parts using measuring instruments 3. Teamwork in an industrial environment and resolution of technical problems We are seeking a manual lathe operator to operate horizontal and vertical lathes, dedicated to the manufacture of single parts and short production runs. The primary task is to machine metal components according to engineering drawings, ensuring dimensional accuracy and high-quality surface finish. The job includes interpreting technical drawings, performing turning, facing, grooving, and threading operations, as well as selecting and preparing appropriate cutting tools. The operator is also responsible for adjusting machine parameters to meet required tolerances. A fundamental part of daily work involves verifying parts using measuring instruments such as micrometers, calipers, and thread gauges, documenting results for quality control. Material handling—including the use of overhead cranes for loading and unloading—is a routine activity. This position operates within an industrial environment as part of a team engaged in mechanical manufacturing projects, combining operational tasks with technical problem-solving to optimize processes. We seek a candidate with attention to detail, ability to work autonomously, and commitment to quality and safety. Working hours are organized in rotating shifts, enabling stable personal and professional planning. The contract is temporary, with potential continuity depending on project progress. Proven experience as a Certified First-Class Manual Lathe Operator is required, with proficiency in operating horizontal and/or vertical manual lathes. Solid knowledge of manufacturing and machining single parts and short production runs is essential, as is the ability to interpret and read technical drawings. Basic on-machine programming skills and capability to perform dimensional verification and control of parts are valued. A valid overhead crane operator license is mandatory. We seek responsible individuals capable of autonomous work and strongly oriented toward the quality of their output. Formal specialized training is not an exclusive requirement; demonstrable practical experience is prioritized.
