Attention experienced machinists! We are hiring skilled Manual Machinists for our client, a well-established precision manufacturer known for producing complex, custom-machined components and offering long-term career opportunities. These positions pay up to $34 per hour and are temp-to-hire, with openings available on both 1st and 2nd shift in Westbrook.
These are highly skilled, hands-on machining positions requiring manual machine setup, blueprint interpretation, precision measurements, and mathematical calculations. This is not a production, machine operator, or assembly role. Ideal candidates will enjoy working on a variety of custom parts and one-off projects where product specifications frequently change and craftsmanship matters.

Typical daily duties:

  • Set up and operate manual lathes and other manual machining equipment to produce precision components
  • Read and interpret blueprints, technical drawings, and work instructions to determine machining requirements
  • Perform layout work, mathematical calculations, and measurements to ensure parts meet specifications
  • Use precision measuring equipment such as micrometers, calipers, indicators, and gauges to verify tolerances
  • Machine custom and specialty parts with varying dimensions and specifications in a job-shop environment
  • Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work area while following quality and safety standards

What we’re looking for:

  • 3+ years of hands-on manual machining experience, including manual lathe setup and operation
  • Strong ability to read and interpret blueprints, technical drawings, and specifications
  • Proficiency using measuring and inspection tools, including micrometers, calipers, and gauges
  • Strong math skills with the ability to calculate dimensions, tolerances, speeds, and feeds
  • Experience producing custom, low-volume, or specialty-machined components preferred
  • High attention to detail, strong mechanical aptitude, and commitment to quality workmanship
