Experienced CNC Large Lathe Machinist Wanted!

Masis Staffing Solutions is recruiting an experienced CNC Large Lathe Machinist for a direct hire opportunity with a well-established precision manufacturing company in the Greater Portland, Maine area.

If you have experience machining large, heavy components, programming with Fanuc controls, and independently setting up CNC lathes, this is an excellent opportunity to put your skills to work!

Our client has been in business for over 50 years, manufacturing precision components for industries including aerospace, defense, power generation, and heavy industrial equipment.

This is a specialized large-lathe machining position, not a CNC operator-only role.

What Makes This Position Unique?

You’ll work with large CNC turning equipment capable of machining precision components up to 63 inches in diameter and 40 feet long. We’re seeking someone who understands the setup, rigging, machining, and inspection challenges associated with oversized workpieces.

What You’ll Do

  • Program, set up, and operate large CNC lathes using Fanuc controls.

  • Perform precision turning operations on large-diameter and long-length components.

  • Read and interpret blueprints, CAD drawings, machining specifications, and work orders.

  • Set up and adjust three-jaw and four-jaw chucks, tooling, fixtures, and workholding equipment.

  • Select cutting tools, machining parameters, speeds, and feeds.

  • Safely position and handle large workpieces using overhead bridge cranes and rigging equipment.

  • Troubleshoot machining issues and make program or tooling adjustments.

  • Machine components to specified dimensions and tolerances.

  • Inspect finished parts using micrometers, gauges, and other precision measuring instruments.

  • Monitor equipment performance and perform routine preventive maintenance.

  • Complete production and quality documentation.

  • Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work environment.

What We’re Looking For

  • Hands-on experience setting up and operating large CNC lathes.

  • Ability to program at the machine using Fanuc controls.

  • Experience machining large, heavy, or oversized components.

  • Knowledge of three-jaw and four-jaw chuck setups and workholding methods.

  • Experience with overhead bridge cranes and rigging large workpieces.

  • Strong blueprint reading and precision measurement skills.

  • Ability to independently troubleshoot setups and machining processes.

  • Understanding of machining tolerances, cutting tools, speeds, and feeds.

  • Strong mechanical aptitude and attention to detail.

  • High school diploma or equivalent required; technical training preferred.

5+ years of CNC large-lathe machining experience preferred.

Spray welding experience is a plus.

Compensation & Benefits

  • $34–$42 per hour, based on experience.

  • 15% shift differential for 2nd shifts.

  • Direct hire opportunity with an established manufacturer.

  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance.

  • 401(k) with company match.

  • Paid time off and 11 paid holidays.

  • Company-paid short-term disability and group life insurance.

  • Long-term disability and supplemental insurance options.

  • Paid tuition reimbursement.

  • Opportunities for long-term career growth and advancement.

Pre-Employment Requirements

  • Successful completion of a pre-employment drug screening.

  • Background check.

  • Ability to meet applicable work authorization requirements.
