Job Description

A large manufacturer of subsea oil field parts is hiring for a CNC machinist. The role involves machining very large parts, with an OD range from 6 inches to 6 feet and lengths from 1 foot to 40 feet, weighing thousands of pounds. The parts are designed for subsea pipelines, valve bodies, flange-like pieces, and large drill bits, requiring tight tolerances. The position primarily involves operating a long bed lathe, but also includes work on VTL and HBM machines. The machinist will work with Fanuc controls and perform G code edits. This is a job shop environment, so the candidate must be confident in running at program speeds and feeds without being overly cautious.
