Work with management and other departments to resolve production issues and improve efficiency.
Maintain accurate production records and required documentation.
Help address day-to-day team concerns, involving management when needed.
At least eight years of CNC machining experience, preferably with most of that experience in milling.
Strong knowledge of machining processes, cutting tools, and equipment.
Ability to read and interpret technical drawings and close-tolerance specifications.
Strong troubleshooting skills and attention to detail.
Clear communication skills and a willingness to share knowledge.
Ability to organize work, set a positive example, and help others succeed.
Comfort using computers for production tracking and documentation.
High school diploma or equivalent; technical training or machining certification is a plus.
The department currently works approximately 45–50 hours per week. Candidates should be willing to work up to 55 hours when production needs require it. Voluntary Saturday work may provide an additional five hours of overtime when priority jobs arise.
