About the Role:
Normandy Repairs is hiring a senior machinist to run our manual lathes and Bridgeport mill machine and to repair, rebuild and fabricate parts for pumps, motors and mechanical equipment in New York City buildings. This is hands-on repair work, not CNC production. You will often work from a worn part, a sample or a sketch instead of a clean print, and we rely on you to get failed equipment back in service.
Responsibilities
• Turn, bore, face, thread and knurl on a manual lathe: shafts, sleeves, bushings, wear rings, impeller seats and similar parts
• Mill key ways, flats, slots, mounting surfaces and flanges on a Bridgeport
• Repair worn shafts, journals and seal areas, including build-up and re-machining to size
• Fabricate replacement parts from drawings, samples or measurements taken in the field
• Weld and repair castings and fabricated parts as needed
• Inspect parts with micrometers, calipers, bore gauges and dial indicators, and hold the tolerances the job needs
• Work with our service technicians on pump and motor repairs, and keep the shop clean, organized and safe
Requirements
This is a senior position. We need someone who can work without supervision from day one.
• 5-plus years of hands-on experience as a machinist (we suggest 10 or more for a senior role)
• Real manual machining skill: you can set up and run a manual lathe and a Bridgeport mill without CNC or DRO crutches
• Able to read prints and sketches, and to measure and work to tolerance
• Comfortable with repair work and one-off parts, where each job is different
• Own your basic hand tools and precision measuring tools (or be willing to build a set)
• Able to lift and move heavy parts, and to work on your feet in a shop environment
• Reliable, on time, and able to communicate clearly with the team and with customers when needed
A Major Plus
Welding skill is not required, but it sets a candidate apart. We value experience in:
• Welding cast iron, including preheat, controlled cooling and crack repair
• Welding and brazing bronze and brass
• Welding carbon steel, with TIG, MIG or stick as the job calls for
• Weld repair of pump casings, bases and rotating equipment
• Knowledge of pump, motor, fan or other rotating equipment, and of shaft fits and seal and bearing arrangements
