Job description:
CNC Machinist (Large Lathe) – 2nd Shift | TOP PAY
Savannah, GA | Direct Hire or Temp-to-Hire
Only 2 Openings – High-Level Role
BIG PAY FOR BIG MACHINES
- $40–$41/hr during training (1st shift)
- $44–$45/hr after training
- 10% Shift Differential on 2nd shift
This is premium pay for machinists who can handle serious equipment and precision work.
Your Path to 2nd Shift
- First 90 Days: 1st Shift Training (Mon–Fri | 6:00 AM – 4:30 PM)

Build What Matters
Join a company that supports power generation and critical energy infrastructure across the country.
You won’t be making small parts — you’ll be machining massive, mission-critical components that keep industries running.
- Industry leader in heavy manufacturing
- Clean, high-tech, safety-first facility
- Strong culture of respect, teamwork, and accountability
- Real opportunity to build a career, not just work a job
What You’ll Be Doing
This is true machinist work — complex, challenging, and rewarding:
- Set up & operate large CNC lathes (110–220 ton machines)
- Machine large, complex components to tight tolerances
- Read and interpret advanced blueprints, GD&T, and specs
- Select tooling, fixtures, and machining strategy
- Dial in feeds & speeds for maximum efficiency quality
- Perform precision inspections throughout the process
- Troubleshoot and solve problems independently
- Work closely with Engineering & Quality teams to deliver first-time-right results
If you love big iron, tight tolerances, and running your own machine — this is your lane.
What You Bring
- 5–7 years CNC machining experience (heavy industrial preferred)
- Strong experience with large CNC lathes
- Proven ability to machine large parts with precision
- Advanced blueprint reading & GD&T expertise
- Experience with carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless & large forgings
- Independent, reliable, problem-solving mindset
Why This Role Stands Out
- Guaranteed pay bump after training
- Shift differential = more money in your pocket
- Long-term stability with a respected employer
- Training tuition reimbursement
- Full benefits: medical, dental, vision, 401(k) match
- PTO, holidays, sick time
- Real advancement opportunities
