• Quality Control: Visually inspect finished fins for defects, checking dimensions, alignment, and spacing against blueprints or schematic tolerances.
• Routine Maintenance: Perform basic preventive maintenance such as cleaning, lubricating components, and checking fluid levels.
• Troubleshooting: Monitor machine gauges or HMI interfaces to identify minor operational faults, reporting major technical glitches directly to maintenance technicians or supervisors.
• Safety Adherence: Maintain a clean, organized workspace and strictly follow required personal protective equipment (PPE) and OSHA compliance standards.

Skills & Qualifications

• Experience: Typically requires 1–3 years of experience as a machine operator in a heavy industrial or manufacturing facility.
• Technical Skills: Basic mechanical inclination with the ability to use standard hand tools and accurately read measuring instruments (calipers, micrometers).
• Physical Requirements: Ability to lift 50 to 75 lbs occasionally, stand for extended periods, and maintain the manual dexterity required to manipulate machine controls.
• Education: High school diploma or equivalent GED
