Step into a day on the floor

It’s 6:00 AM and you’re walking into a clean, safe shop where aerospace, defense, energy, mining, and transportation components take shape. You review the traveler, pull up the program on the FANUC control, and mount a forged workpiece. Offsets are dialed in, tools are verified, and the first cut sings. You hold tight GD&T callouts, chase surface finishes, and verify every feature with trusted gauges. Mid-morning, you’re toggling between two machines—one a 4-axis VMC, the other a horizontal—keeping cycle times tight and quality tighter. After lunch, a quick light setup and tooling change keeps production flowing. Before 4:30 PM, you’ve inspected parts to spec, documented conformance, and left your station spotless for tomorrow.

The role

• Operate CNC milling, boring, and turning equipment using FANUC controls to produce precision components from castings and forgings.
• Interpret blueprints, engineering drawings, work instructions, and specifications with confidence.
• Perform basic setups, tooling changes, and process adjustments; run multiple machines as production requires.
• Hold close tolerances and meet surface finish requirements consistently.
• Inspect parts using precision measuring tools; verify conformance to customer and engineering requirements.
• Follow all safety, quality, and manufacturing procedures; maintain a clean, organized work area.
• Support production goals and assist with additional duties as needed.
