• Interpret technical documentation including prints, work instructions, routings, and inspection plans; verify dimensions using precision measuring tools (micrometers, calipers, height gauges, indicators, bore gauges, etc.).
• Maintain quality and traceability by completing required documentation, following inspection and nonconformance processes, and supporting root-cause investigations for defects.
• Support continuous improvement efforts (scrap reduction, cycle-time improvement, tool life optimization, and process standardization) using structured problem-solving.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with engineers, planners, quality, and operations teams to resolve manufacturability issues and improve product reliability.
• Practice safe work behaviors and comply with all applicable safety, environmental, and shop procedures; participate in hazard identification and mitigation.
• Contribute to sustainability-minded operations by minimizing material waste, supporting reuse/rework where appropriate, and improving efficiency (e.g., coolant management, optimized cutting parameters, and energy-conscious machine use).
• Maintain equipment and work area through routine TPM activities, basic preventative maintenance, and 5S/housekeeping standards.

Required Qualifications

• High school diploma or GED required; technical/vocational machining certificate strongly preferred.
• 3+ years of machinist experience in a manufacturing environment (oil & gas, aerospace, industrial, or similarly high-precision industry preferred).
• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings.
• Working knowledge of machining processes, tooling selection, and materials (e.g., alloy steels, stainless steels, nickel alloys).
• Ability to meet physical requirements (standing, lifting, working in a shop environment) and follow safety procedures.
