Job Description

Job Description

Build Skills That Move Manufacturing Forward

Metko is a third-generation, family-owned Wisconsin manufacturer built on quality workmanship, dependable service, and the people behind every part we produce.

We are looking for a full-time CNC Laser Operator to join our second shift team in New Holstein. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced CNC operator - or for a mechanically inclined manufacturing professional who is ready to learn CNC laser equipment.

If you enjoy working with machinery, solving problems, and seeing raw sheet metal become a finished part, we can help you build on the skills you already have.

Second Shift Schedule

Second Shift Schedule: Monday through Friday, 2:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m.

Training for this position will temporarily take place on first shift before transitioning to the regular second shift schedule.

What You'll Do

• Operate CNC laser machinery.
• Set up equipment and prepare jobs according to work orders.
• Produce quality metal-fabricated parts according to blueprints, specifications, and production standards.
• Conduct basic quality inspections throughout the manufacturing process.
• Check completed parts using calipers, micrometers, tape measures, and other measuring equipment.
• Read and follow work orders and manufacturing drawings.
• Complete production and quality documentation.
• Keep your work area clean, organized, and ready for the next job.
• Work alongside teammates to meet customer expectations for quality and delivery.
• Follow established safety and quality procedures.

What Will Help You Succeed

• Mechanical ability and an interest in manufacturing equipment.
• Experience operating CNC machinery or other production equipment.
• Attention to detail and pride in producing accurate, quality parts.
• The ability to inspect work using measuring equipment and drawings.
• Basic math and computer skills.
• Good problem-solving ability.
• A dependable, self-motivated, and team-oriented approach.
• Clear communication and a commitment to safe work practices.
• An interest in learning how to read manufacturing blueprints - or continuing to develop that skill.
• The ability to work effectively in an active production environment.

Previous CNC machine-operation experience is preferred, but it is not required. We also welcome applicants with experience operating other types of manufacturing machinery who have the mechanical ability and desire to learn Metko's equipment.

Sheet-metal experience and blueprint-reading experience are helpful, but both can be developed on the job.

Grow Into Your Next Manufacturing Role

At Metko, you are not joining a distant corporation. You are joining a third-generation, family-owned manufacturer where your work matters and your skills can grow with every job you complete.

Whether you already know CNC equipment or are ready to take the next step from another machine-operation role, we would like to hear from you.
