Job description

Day in the life — Cross Plains, WI

Picture starting your shift by loading a new program on a 3–4 axis VMC, confirming tool offsets, and dialing in speeds and feeds for a thin-gauge plastic job. You verify blueprints and GD&T callouts, run a first-article, and fine-tune to hit both tolerance and surface finish requirements. Midday, you pivot to a 2–4 axis Mazak lathe, troubleshoot a minor alarm, perform quick maintenance, and keep production flowing. Before clocking out, you transfer files, document quality checks, and hand off a clean setup for the next run.

  • Preferred: Experience with Fanuc or Mazatrol controls; Mastercam or similar CAM/programming background.
  • Preferred: Background with 3-axis mills or lathes; machine troubleshooting/maintenance.
  • Preferred: Exposure to mold/tool & die, thermoforming, plastics manufacturing, or thin-gauge materials (0.007"–.120").
