About the Job
CNC Lathe Operator (Fanuc Controls)

Pay: $18+/hr
Location: Livonia, MI
Shift: 2pm-10:30pm or 10pm-6:30am

Role Summary:
We are seeking an experienced CNC Lathe Operator (Level II) with hands-on experience running machines with Fanuc controls. This role requires someone who can go beyond basic operation — including offsets, tool changes, and maintaining tight tolerances in a production environment.

This is NOT a button-pushing position. We are looking for a candidate who understands machining processes, can make adjustments independently, and maintain consistent part quality.

Key Responsibilities:
  •  Operate CNC lathes with Fanuc controls in a production environment.
  •  Hold tight tolerances of ±0.001 or better.
  •  Perform tool offsets, wear adjustments, and tool changes.
  •  Read and interpret blueprints, GD&T, and technical drawings.
  •  Use precision measuring tools (micrometers, calipers, height gauges). 
  •  Perform basic troubleshooting and minor machine adjustments.
  •  Maintain consistent part quality and production output. 
  •  Complete inspection reports and production documentation.
  •  Assist with basic setup and process adjustments as needed. 
  •  Follow all safety and manufacturing procedures. 

Required Qualifications:
  • 2+ years of CNC lathe experience (Fanuc controls required).
  •  Ability to hold tight tolerances (±0.001) consistently.
  •  Hands-on experience with: 
    •  Offsets and tool wear adjustments. 
    •  Tool changes. 
    •  Blueprint reading .
    •  Precision measuring tools. 
  •  Strong understanding of machining processes — not just loading parts.
  •  Ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
 
Preferred Experience:
  •  Experience working in high-volume, tight-tolerance environments.
  •  Exposure to M-codes and minor program adjustments.
  •  Experience supporting setups or changeovers.
 
Physical Requirements:
  •  Ability to lift/push/pull up to 30 lbs.
  •  Comfortable handling small precision parts. 
  •  Able to work in a manufacturing environment.
