Description

CMM QUALITY TECHNICIAN – 2nd SHIFT

Precision matters. So does your schedule.

Ushers Machine & Tool Co., Inc.
Aalberts Surface Technologies – Machining Solutions

If you speak GD&T fluently, trust data over guesses, and enjoy proving parts are right (or calling them out when they’re not), we should talk.

The Shift (a.k.a. the good one)

• Monday–Thursday: 12:00 PM – 8:30 PM
• Friday: 12:00 PM – 6:00 PM
• Full days, short Fridays. Your weekends start early — as they should.

But also.. 10% shift premium after training and paid lunch breaks!

• Generate inspection reports and issue NCRs when parts miss the mark
• Perform incoming, in-process, and final inspections
• Maintain CMM calibration, programs, and accessories
• Use tools like borescopes, micrometers, calipers, optical comparators, gauge pins
• Recommend fixturing improvements to Engineering (your voice matters here)
• Train others on proper CMM operation and inspection practices
• Keep quality records tight, traceable, and audit-ready
  

In short: you protect the customer, the process, and the company’s reputation.

What We’re Looking For

• High School Diploma or equivalent (non-negotiable)
• 3–5 years CMM operation or programming in manufacturing
• 2+ years inspecting machined parts
• Comfortable issuing NCRs and backing them up with data
