Job description

A day in this role

Your shift begins at a spotless workstation where a new print is waiting. You load material, call up the program, verify offsets, and bring a part to life on a Mazak or Okuma lathe. After first-article inspection and a few thoughtful tweaks, you switch over to a Haas or Okuma VMC to tackle a multi-face milling sequence. Throughout the day (or night - both shifts are available), you keep machines dialed in, document what you run, and leave each setup better than you found it.

• Set up and run CNC lathes and mills to meet print and CAD/CAM specifications.
• Decode blueprints, drawings, and CAD models to determine tooling, workholding, and sequence.
• Hold tight tolerances through in-process checks and final inspection to spec.

• Follow safety practices and maintain an organized, clean workstation.
