Job description

PURPOSE

The purpose of the CNC Operator position is to accurately perform tasks according to work instructions that are related to machining of SMC components

ESSENTIAL DUTIES
  • The CNC Operator fully manages the machining tasks and maintenance necessary to produce SMC components and will complete the following tasks for their role:
    • Set Up: perform machine change overs to manufacture different components based on daily assignments.  This work typically is performed on a CNC Mill, CNC Lathe, or CNC Punch Press.
    • Prepare: use blueprints to set the machine to the job’s specifications, insert the tooling needed, and gather the necessary materials for the job assignment. This process will be repeated for each of the day’s assignments.
    • Operate: supervise the machine while it executes the tasks, make any necessary adjustments to the operation, or troubleshoot issues to produce a better-finished product to specification; use measurement tools (ex. Micrometer) to check that the desired result was achieved, perform preventative machine maintenance and keep workstation orderly.
  • Work in a team environment for an increased productivity and quality.
  • Understand and follow all company policies and safety procedures.

In this role, you will complete all other duties as assigned by your supervisor.

All candidates applying for the CNC Operator position will take a practical assessment to better understand their machining experience. SMC differentiates turning, milling, and sheet metal fabrication in our assessment. Additional training will be provided to new hires on the specific brand of CNC machine, SMC ERP systems, standards, and practices.

PHYSICAL DEMANDS/WORK ENVIRONMENT
  • The physical demands of this position require the employee to stand, walk, and use their hands to handle or feel objects, tools, or controls, and reach with their hands and arms. The role will also necessitate the employee to lift heavy components (up to 40Lbs) as needed.
  • The person is frequently required to climb or balance, stoop kneel, crouch or crawl. Must be able to hear and talk.

While the production facility is temperature controlled, the work environment may expose employees to noise, heat, open flame, cold, dust, lubricants and/or solvents

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS
  • Minimum 3 years of experience required without CNC certification and no prior experience required with CNC certification
  • Available to work overtime on weekdays/weekends as needed (multiple day time schedules are available).
  • Basic computer and math skills.
  • Detail-oriented.
  • Work in a team environment for an increased productivity and quality.
  • Communication: Must be able to read/write/speak and understand English. Must be able to effectively communicate.
