Job description

Shape Metal. Build Quality. Grow Your Craft.

Step into a production floor where your hands‑on skill makes a measurable difference. As our Precision Machining Technician, you’ll start each shift preparing press and lathe equipment so every run meets spec—from first piece to final pallet.

A day in the life

You arrive, review the work order, and ready the machines—cleaning, calibrating, and dialing in settings so the first production cycle starts smooth. You load raw material into semi-automated equipment, monitor speeds and feeds, and make adjustments on the fly. Periodically, you test machine performance and confirm output meets standards. When something isn’t right, you troubleshoot, correct the issue, and document what you did. Throughout the shift, you inspect parts using precision measuring tools, flag defects, and record both accepted and rejected units. Before you clock out, you wrap with accurate activity and production logs so the next team can hit the ground running.

Core responsibilities

• Prepare and calibrate press and lathe machines; clean and verify readiness for production cycles
• Adjust operating parameters (e.g., speed) to maintain quality and throughput
• Load raw materials/parts into semi-automated equipment
• Measure components with precision instruments and gauges
• Perform periodic test runs and functional checks
• Troubleshoot and resolve issues that arise during the shift
• Inspect output to identify machine‑related defects
• Record approved and defective units or finished goods
• Maintain accurate activity and production logs

What you’ll bring

• Strong commitment to health and safety practices
• Analytical, problem‑solving mindset
• Keen attention to detail and quality
• Clear communication and teamwork skills
• Physical stamina and strength to perform shop‑floor work

Minimum qualifications

• High school diploma or equivalent; technical degree is a plus
