You read the drawing, choose tool, speed and feed yourself, clamp in the chuck or between centres and work up to the dimension with vernier calliper and micrometer — longitudinal and face turning, parting off, drilling, threads. Most of what you turn goes into our own welded assemblies: fitted bushings, pins, shoulders and threads for the large welded structures being built in the hall next door — components we turn ourselves and then fit ourselves, plus rework on parts from our own production. The large rotational parts run on our CNC vertical turning lathe, whose table takes workpieces up to Ø 4,800 mm, and are a separate position — here you turn what the vertical lathe is too big for. ## Your Profile - Completed training as a turner, cutting machine operator or industrial mechanic - Confident handling of the conventional centre lathe - Confident reading of technical drawings including form and position tolerances - Experience in measuring and inspecting with hand measuring equipment - Independent and precise way of working ## What awaits you with us What you work with every day — the equipment, tasks and technology of this position. ### Conventional turning from drawings On the TOS SUS 63H and the Meuser you decide on tool, speed and feed — no simulation, no post-processor, but drawing, handwheel and measuring equipment. ### Machining one-off parts and small batches The TOS SUS 63H takes shafts up to 2,000 mm turning length and Ø 655 mm, the Meuser the smaller parts up to Ø 350 mm — two machines for the full range of drawing parts. ### The parts the vertical lathe is too big for Large rotational parts run on our vertical turning lathe up to Ø 4,800 mm. What cannot sensibly be clamped there, you turn: bolts, bushings, shafts and fitted parts from batch size 1. ## We Offer ### A permanent job directly with the company Employed directly by Bock, not through a temp agency — a settled team, a fixed workplace and a long-term perspective instead of changing assignments. A financially healthy family business for over 60 years, crisis-proof across many industries (crane construction, vehicle manufacturing, plant engineering, offshore). ### Holiday pay & bonus payment Performance-based pay plus holiday pay and a special bonus payment. ### 30 days of holiday a year A full 30 days of paid leave every year — real time to recharge, easy to plan. ### Pension & capital-forming benefits We think ahead: a company pension scheme and employer-subsidised capital-forming savings benefits. ### Company health insurance Additional company-sponsored health insurance — for the well-being of our employees. ### Commuting allowance A subsidy towards travel costs — for a relaxed commute within the region. ### Licences and training on site Forklift licence, crane licence and the regular safety briefings are provided in-house — missing qualifications are acquired here, not required beforehand. ### Company celebrations & team spirit Christmas parties and shared celebrations — here, team spirit is something we celebrate too. ## This position is not currently open We are not actively hiring for “Turner / Conventional Lathe (m/f/d)” right now — but we recruit for this area on a regular basis.
