Laser Cutting Operator
$25 - $30 per hourSkilled Trades Services, Inc.
Laser Cutting Machine Operator
If you've got real time behind a laserthis is where you want to be.
We're not looking for entry-level. We're looking for operators who know the machines, know the materials, and take pride in precision work.
The Role
You'll be running high-performance laser cutting equipment producing tight-tolerance, high-quality parts in a fast-paced shop environment.
Tube Laser experience? That's a BIG win. Plasma or Waterjet background? We like that too.
Must-Have Experience (Read Before Applying)
We're serious about this part ?
- You MUST have hands-on laser cutting experience
- You MUST have worked with at least one of these:
- Bystronic
- Trumpf
- Mitsubishi
- Cincinnati
- Amada
- Hankwank (HK)
No laser experience? This isn't the role for you Never operated a laser machine? Keep scrolling
What You'll Be Doing
- Set up and operate fiber laser cutting machines (Hankwank + others)
- Dial in cutting parameters (speed, power, gas flow) like a pro
- Read blueprints and execute with precision
- Monitor production and adjust for quality + efficiency
- Perform basic maintenance + troubleshoot issues
- Inspect parts to ensure tight tolerances are met
- Keep your station clean, safe, and production-ready
What You Bring To The Table
- Solid experience with CNC / Laser Cutting equipment
- Strong blueprint reading + layout skills
- Familiarity with CAD/CAM and machine programming
- Mechanical aptitude (you can fix things, not just run them)
- Sharp eye for detail and quality
- Safety-first mindset (OSHA awareness is key)
Materials You'll Be Cutting
If you've worked with theseyou'll fit right in:
- Stainless Steel
- Carbon / Mild Steel
- Aluminum
- Brass
- Copper (depending on setup)
Who Thrives Here
- Operators who take pride in clean, accurate work
- People who show up, get it done, and do it right
- Self-starters who don't need hand-holding
- Team players who can also run solo
Why This Role Stands Out
- Work with top-tier equipment
- Be part of a team that respects skilled operators
- Steady work with real opportunity
