Job Description:

CNC Machine Operator

• Person interacts with the machine, puts in offsets, loads parts, and unloads parts, measures things

• Doesn’t do true machining where they say “here is a piece of steel, here is the blueprint, now go make something”, these people don’t do that

• They just run the equipment, troubleshoot where needed and escalate any problems

• These are big complex parts that may take anywhere from 4 hours to 40 hours to machine

• Value of the parts are anywhere from $3,000 to $100,000

• These people do not do programming and figuring things out

• Challenge is a Machinist expects to do some of that work, meaning that they feel that they have to figure things out, but they don’t do any of that.

• Machines are unique and most people haven’t worked these control pipes before, so there will be some training on that, and they will learn the Siemens controls switches

• People with lathe or mill experience and schooling Associate degree or any type of machine certificate would be a significant plus

• Manufacturing experience is good, but must be a person that pays attention to detail and willing to learn

• Need to be detail oriented.

• Interview process is 1 and done. It will be an onsite preferred but could be a team if not able to due to work commitment. Expect 20-30 minutes regardless of onsite/teams.

• Internal onboarding can take anywhere from 2-4 weeks depending on a persons background.
