Job description

Multi-Spindle Setup / Operator

Our client is a long-established, stable precision manufacturer in the Menomonee Falls area experiencing significant growth.

This opportunity is geared toward someone with hands-on experience setting up, adjusting and operating multi-spindle lathes / automatic screw machines used to produce precision components from metal bar stock. If you understand how these machines work and can diagnose what is happening when they don't, your experience could be particularly valuable.

The work may include:

• Set up and operate multi-spindle automatic machining equipment
• Read blueprints and work to dimensions, tolerances and tooling specifications
• Install and adjust collets, bushings, stock pushers, cams, gears, stops and cutting tools
• Establish and adjust speeds, feeds, tooling positions and machine timing
• Inspect first pieces and production parts using micrometers, calipers, height stands, comparators and other inspection equipment
• Troubleshoot machine, tooling, programming and material issues
• Change and maintain tooling and perform preventive maintenance
• Produce quality precision metal components in a busy production environment

Experience with multi-spindle lathes, automatic screw machines, Acme-Gridley, New Britain, Euro-Turn/ZMC or similar bar-stock machining equipment may be particularly relevant.

Our client offers multiple schedules, overtime opportunities for those who want additional hours, continued skill development and room to take on greater technical responsibility as the company grows.

If you've built your career around screw machines, multi-spindles, CNC or related machining equipment, we'd like to understand what you know and what type of opportunity works for you. Tell us about your experience and the schedules you'd consider — there may be more than one way you fit.
