Monday through Friday,Swing Shift
MISSION:
To assemble moderately complex wax components including gating systems to produce mold forms to be invested.
PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTABILITIES:
Preparation.
Objective: to inspect patterns and determine assembly methods.
Typical Activities:
- Pre-inspects pattern and gating components prior to start of assembly.
- Reads and follows technique card assembly instructions, which describe assembly steps of a moderately complex nature.
Assembly.
Objective: to accurately assemble multi-component patterns and maintain dimensional integrity.
Typical Activities:
- Assembles wax patterns and gating components by means of torch, hot pencils, and a variety of hand tools.
- Welds gates into place by means of torch or hot pencil.
- Assembles moderately complex patterns; occasionally uses assembly fixturing to maintain dimensional control and stability.
- Manipulates fixture/pattern components to remove configuration discrepancies and verify dimensional integrity.
- Smoothes and gauges the area around each assembly contact by means of hot pencil, torch or paint seal.
- Occasionally modifies gates by reshaping, splicing or reducing in order to obtain proper fit.
- Occasionally hand fabricates elementary gating from raw stock.
- Inspects assemblies during and after the assembly process for defects and quality.
Safety.
Objective: to take responsibility for and demonstrate safe work practices.
Typical Activities:
- Adheres to plant and department safety rules.
- Safely operates all equipment and tools.
- Identifies and reports safety problems.
- Performs other tasks as assigned.
TRAINING :
- Training is provided on the job.
ENTRY QUALIFICATIONS:
- Nine to twelve months of production wax assembly experience preferredORAn equivalent combination of experience and training.
- Basic knowledge of assembly techniques, methods, materials, fixturing and construction.
- Ability to follow and communicate complex written and verbal instructions, and to perform arithmetic calculations.
- Demonstrated high degree of manual dexterity.
- Ability to lift and/or maneuver objects weighing thirty to fifty pounds and occasionally up to one hundred twenty five pounds.
- Ability to work in conditions which may include exposure to noise, fumes, crowding, awkward physical positions, abrasions, cuts, and chemicals.
MAJOR PLANT DIFFERENCES:
- LSBO uses Production Wax Assembler B as a training position, and does not use level C Assemblers.
