Heartline Staffing, in partnership with Purple Cow Recruiting, is seeking experienced Manual Machinists for full-time, onsite opportunities in Indianapolis, Indiana. These positions are specifically for skilled manual machinists with strong hands-on experience operating manual mills and/or lathes. This is not a CNC-focused opportunity.
POSITION OVERVIEW
The Manual Machinist will operate a variety of traditional machining equipment to produce, repair, and finish metal components according to blueprints, technical drawings, dimensions, and specified tolerances. The ideal candidate is comfortable independently setting up and operating manual equipment, performing precision measurements, and completing machining operations in a production or shop environment.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Set up and operate manual lathes, mills, grinders, and drill presses
Perform turning, milling, threading, boring, drilling, and grinding operations
Perform dynamic balancing as required
Read and interpret blueprints, technical drawings, and specifications
Machine and assemble components according to required dimensions and tolerances
Use precision measuring instruments including micrometers, calipers, bore gauges, and other gauges
Verify dimensions and tolerances throughout the machining process
Make machine setup adjustments using traditional gauge-based methods
Operate welding equipment as required, including MIG, TIG, Stick, and Oxy-Acetylene
Perform metal spray processes as needed
Document measurements, calculations, and completed work according to company standards
Troubleshoot machining and mechanical issues in both standard and non-standard situations

Work independently while collaborating effectively with other team members
AVAILABLE SHIFTS
