Function

Machining team members are the backbone of our operation. They operate advanced equipment to manufacture high quality boat parts. Machining is a highly mechanical, hands-on, production process.

Outcomes

• Responsible for multi-tasking, running multiple parts on several CNC machines and keeping machines running at a high pace
• Load raw aluminum parts and fixture them down to pallets using hand tools
• Communicate needs for stock material in a timely manner to our Fabrication department
• Meet production goals according to the engineering schedule

Qualifications: Competencies

Cultural

• Second Mile

  The first mile is mandatory. The second mile is voluntary; we do it for our own growth.

• Don’t Touch the Marshmallow

  This references the famous psychological experiment studying the strength to reject short term gratification in favor of a larger reward later. We err towards celebrating later, not sooner.

• Abundance Mindset

  Life is not a zero-sum game. We strive to reject scarcity mindsets and instead “grow the pie”. Example – is a new “A” player on your team an asset or a threat?

• Skills Beat Credentials

  What you can do is all that matters. Credentials alone won’t get you anywhere at Protomet.

• That’s Hard…Good

  Growth happens the most in the face of challenges. We recognize it is difficult to grin as you are being tested, but it’s possible, and we’re getting better at it.
