• Read and interpret technical drawings and specifications.
• Perform repair and refurbishment work on industrial components.
• Conduct quality inspections to ensure machined parts meet specifications.
• Work closely with a small, experienced team in an environment that values autonomy and craftsmanship.

Qualifications

• Relevant experience as a Conventional Machinist.
• Strong knowledge of conventional turning techniques.
• Ability to work on large-scale components.
• Self-motivated, detail-oriented, and responsible.
• Strong dimensional inspection and measurement skills.
• Experience in repair machining is considered an asset.

Working Conditions

• Competitive hourly wage of $30 to $43 per hour, depending on experience.
• Day shift schedule:
• Monday to Thursday: 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM
• Friday: 7:00 AM to 1:00 PM
• Abundant overtime opportunities.
• Group insurance plan (50/50 cost-sharing with the employer).
• Small team environment with direct communication and quick decision-making.
• Stable, respectful workplace with minimal bureaucracy.
• Permanent full-time position.

Are you a machinist who enjoys working on a variety of projects rather than repetitive production work? This position offers the opportunity to apply your skills to unique, large-scale industrial components in an environment where your expertise and autonomy are truly valued.
