Description

Job Details Job Location: Coolidge, GA 31738 Job Summary: We are seeking a highly skilled Manual Machinist who embodies the spirit of a true craftsman. Unlike modern high-volume production shops, this role focuses on the manual manipulation of metal to create high-precision components for industrial boiler systems. You will be responsible for setting up and operating manual lathes, mills, and drills to produce parts from blueprints and raw materials. This process relies on your hand-eye coordination and technical expertise rather than computer programming. Company Overview: Hurst Boiler & Welding Co., Inc. has been a leading manufacturer of high-quality industrial and commercial boilers since 1967. Based in Coolidge, Georgia, we design, engineer, and service a wide range of steam and hot water boilers for diverse industries and applications worldwide. We pride ourselves on our customization, commitment to innovation, quality craftsmanship, and providing sustainable energy solutions to our customers. Responsibilities and Duties: Key Responsibilities - Manual Operation that includes set up and operation of manual machines, including engine lathes, vertical and horizontal milling machines, radial arm drills, and grinders, etc. - Precision Craftsmanship is key to perform complex machining operations such as turning, facing, threading, boring, and tapering without the aid of CNC automation. - Blueprint Literacy is necessary to interpret technical drawings, engineering blueprints, and job specifications to determine dimensions and tolerances. - Utilize precision measuring instruments (micrometers, calipers, dial indicators, and bore gauges) to ensure all parts meet rigorous Hurst quality standards. - Tool Maintenance: Grind and sharpen high-speed steel (HSS) and carbide cutting tools to suit specific materials and finishes. - Select appropriate work-holding methods (chucks, collets, vises, and jigs) and cutting speeds/feeds based on the material (carbon steel, stainless, brass, etc.). Technical Knowledge: - Experience: Minimum of 5+ years of experience in a heavy industrial manual machining environment. - Tooling Expertise: Mastery of manual layouts, including the use of layout dye, height gauges, and scribes. - No CNC Dependency: Must be able to perform all calculations manually (trigonometry for angles and tapers) without software assistance. - Quality Control: Ability to maintain tolerances as tight as + 0.001inches on manual equipment - Assist with all other duties as directed Qualifications Qualifications: - High school degree/GED is preferred. Experience in regulatory driven environments - Mathematical skills are a must - Ability to prioritize and manage multiple initiatives simultaneously - Ability to articulate physical scenarios in writing and describing details concerning products they inspect so changes, corrections, or adjustments can be made - Must be a self-starter, willing to see the job through, and possess the strength of character to point out when things are not as they should be - Ability to lift up to 50 lbs. and stand for extended periods - Strict adherence to Hurst Boiler safety protocols - Strong mechanical aptitude and problem-solving skills for one-off repairs or custom fabrications Working Conditions: - This role is primarily performed in a manufacturing environment. - Requires strong communication skills to machine items as requested based on timelines and requirements.
