  • Analyze blueprints, technical drawings, and work orders to determine machining operations and sequence.
  • Deliver high-quality, precision components run after run.
  • Hold strict tolerance targets and verify results.
  • Perform routine maintenance and troubleshoot equipment to keep processes stable.
  • Inspect completed parts with precision measuring tools to ensure conformance to spec.
  • Run Mori Seiki, Doosan, and Haas machines with Fanuc controls efficiently and safely.
What you bring
  • Demonstrated experience as a CNC Set Up Operator or equivalent in manufacturing.
  • Comprehensive understanding of CNC machinery, tooling strategies, and programming principles.
  • Expertise interpreting technical documents and blueprints.
  • Strong command of tight-tolerance machining methods.
