Manual Machinist

Manual Machinist (Manual Lathe / Manual Mill) – Hydraulic Repair

Murphy’s Family Staffing is hiring a skilled Manual Machinist for a busy hydraulic repair and remanufacturing shop in York, PA. If you’re the kind of machinist who can think through a repair, hold tight tolerances, and confidently run manual lathes and mills (not just push buttons), this is a strong long-term opportunity.

This role supports real industrial work — hydraulic cylinders, rods, pistons, glands, precision machining, repair machining, and rework. The shop is known for tackling large, high-stakes hydraulic components and quality-driven work. (Garrod Hydraulics)
