Machinist

Boart Longyear is a global leader in drilling services, providing innovative and reliable solutions for the mining and drilling industry. With a history spanning over 130 years, the company is committed to excellence in safety, technology, and equipment manufacturing.

We are currently seeking a Machinist to join our team in West Valley, Utah. This role is not a load‑parts‑and‑press‑start operator position. You’ll own setups, tooling, quality, and problem‑solving.

• Manual machining from print to part on lathes and mills (basic setups from scratch, indicating 3‑jaw/4‑jaw, facing/turning/grooving/boring/cut‑off, simple threading).
• Select basic tooling & set speeds/feeds; change inserts, touch off tools; aim for finish, tolerance, and tool life.
• Read blueprints & basic GD&T; hold ±0.001" on common features with coaching as needed.
• Inspect your work with micrometers, calipers, dial indicators, bore gauges; complete in‑process checks and first articles.
• CNC exposure & growth: set work/tool offsets, load/prove programs, make minor G/M edits with guidance; learn Fusion 360/Mastercam to progress toward programming.
• Work safely, communicate clearly, and collaborate with senior machinists and engineering.

• 1–2 years total machining experience or completion of an accredited machining program.
• Hands‑on manual lathe/mill experience (school, internship, or work) and familiarity with tooling & shop practices.
• Ability to measure and hold ±0.001" with standard gauges; solid shop math/trig.
• Blueprint reading with basic GD&T concepts; eagerness to learn CNC.
• Able to handle larger parts with crane/rigging assistance; stand for a full shift.
• HS diploma/GED; valid driver’s license & good record; able to pass background check and drug screen.

• Exposure to horizontal lathes (manual or CNC).
• Any CAM/CNC fundamentals (Fusion 360/Mastercam, canned cycles, simple toolpaths).

Experience around tough alloys (4140/4340, tool steels) or job‑shop/repair environments.

A repetitive production “operator” position. If your experience is only loading parts and pressing start on pre‑made programs, this won’t be a fit.

• A strong compensation plan.
• Medical, vision, and dental program.
• Retirement program.
• Employee recognition rewards program (BRAVO).
• Employee assistance program.

• Global Drilling Services:
  Diamond coring, reverse circulation, large‑diameter rotary, mine dewatering, water supply, pump services, production, and sonic drilling—delivered safely and reliably for a diverse global customer base.
• Global Products: R&D‑driven rigs, drill string products, performance tooling, consumables, and parts—backed by hundreds of patents and a reputation for durability.
• Veracio (subsidiary): AI‑powered orebody science that modernizes decision‑making and helps lower exploration costs in real time.
