Lead CNC Swiss Turning Setup Supervisor
Step into a day where precision meets leadership. At Lusk Quality—recognized for high-volume precision turning—you’ll guide a talented crew of Swiss machine operators from first part approval to final inspection. Your morning starts with reviewing work orders and blueprints, mapping out priorities, and aligning cycle times with customer deadlines. You’ll coach operators at the machines, set up Swiss-type equipment, dial in tooling and offsets, and verify first-piece quality using micrometers and calipers.
As production runs, you’ll keep an eye on quality and throughput, adjusting parameters to stay within spec and on schedule. When challenges appear, you’ll troubleshoot root causes and implement cost-effective, time-efficient fixes. You’ll uphold company policies and safety practices, keep the work cell running smoothly, and share feedback that strengthens skills and teamwork. Before shift-end, you’ll perform routine machine maintenance and communicate status so the next run is ready.
