Physical Vapor Deposition - Chemical Process Operator 3rd shift

Position Summary Hourly - Direct Labor position responsible for the operation and supporting activities surrounding a coating process. Primary equipment is operated through HMIs and a series of switches, pushbuttons, and other interactive control points. The Operator will work to produce the required amount of product in a defined period while ensuring all EHS and Quality requirements are continuously satisfied. The Operator will work as part of a team with Operations Support, Engineering, Maintenance, and Management personnel. Some overtime will be required on occasion to meet production and project schedules. Limited travel may be required in support of training programs. Operators will be provided the opportunity to progress within the role as defined below. Responsibilities Perform complex and multi-level tasks from procedures and work instructions defining the tasks. Maintain timely and accurate record keeping using provided tools including digital and handwritten data entry and notes. Maintain 100% compliance with PPE requirements while operating equipment and/or performing supporting operations, including ensuring PPE is functioning properly prior to starting a task. Participate and adhere to all Cpex initiatives (5S, TPM, SW, VM, etc) introduced into the process cell. Effectively operate within a “Fixed Process” environment with strong compliance (FAA, AS 9100) requirements governing product integrity. Effectively identify and communicate non-standard situations including EHS and Product Integrity concerns. Follow best practice guidelines with respect to product and raw material handling requirements in a high vacuum coating environment. Complete periodic TPM activities (Checklists) in support of assigned processes and equipment. Review own work for completeness and quality compliance. Examples of typical reviews include: reviewing and interpreting electronic data logs or trending charts at the HMIs manually measuring critical process outputs like part weights, surface roughness and physical dimensions visually identifying surface imperfections against standards confirming values from analog or digital gauges and displays incorporated into the equipment Operate support equipment (pre/post coating) including: abrasive blasting systems parts washers and/or aqueous cleaning lines high temperature ovens and furnaces material handling equipment surface enhancement equipment robotic waterjet blasting system Support Coater Operators by performing part loading/unloading, fixture assembly/disassembly, and chamber loading/unloading steps. Maintain metal coating fixtures for use in coater by visually verifying condition, removing residual coatings, and removing any contamination that may affect fixtures. Support the process team to complete standard rebuild and material loading tasks (i.e., Turn Arounds). Ensure punctual and accurate time keeping for tasks performed in accordance with site Direct Labor recording standards. Cross-train in other coating process areas as needed to support production requirements. Complete the training program for each process prior to performing assignments in that area. Qualifications Education and/or Experience: High school diploma or general education degree (GED). At least 2 years’ experience working in a production manufacturing environment. Additional Education, Training, Certifications, or Licenses that are applicable will be considered and may supersede the other requirements. Language Skills: Must be able to read, write, and communicate in English. Read and interpret documents such as safety rules, operating instructions, and procedure manuals. Write routine reports and correspondence in digital or handwritten formats. Communicate effectively with supervisor, engineers, and co-workers. Mathematical Skills and Scientific Principles: Perform basic mathematical functions with decimals, fractions, or percentages. Convert numbers from scientific notation to decimal form. Convert units of measurement between English and Metric systems. Basic understanding of common scientific principles like fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, and energy is a plus. Reasoning Ability: Apply commonsense understanding to carry out instructions furnished in written, oral, or diagram form. Deal with problems involving several concrete variables in standardized situations. Other Skills and Abilities: Mechanically inclined individual that thrives in a hands-on, demanding environment with little direct supervision. Thrives as an individual contributor and a team player in some instances. Open to changes in scope and procedures to meet CI and productivity initiatives. May be required to operate a forklift (training provided). Physical Demands Climb stairs multiple times during a shift. Manual dexterity to build or assemble small components with hand/pneumatic tools. Some repetitive motions (e.g., turning a wrench, cutting wire). Lift 35 lbs from floor to waist, 35 lbs from waist to shoulder, and carry up to 35 lbs on the shop floor. Some tasks may require wearing a SAR (Supplied-Air Respirator). Vision requirements: close, distance, peripheral, depth perception, and color vision. Work Environment Regular exposure to extreme heat, sharp objects, and moving mechanical parts. PPE and machine guarding are designed into the process; awareness of hazards is essential. Potential exposure to respiratory and skin irritants, asphyxiation, fall hazards, and electrical hazards (including shock or arc flash); training and PPE provided where applicable. Controlled temperature and humidity conditions, with isolated areas that may be wet or humid. Moderate noise level; hearing protection provided in designated high-noise areas. Exposure to ionizing radiation from the EB-PVD Coater; radiation monitoring may be required and radiation awareness training will be provided. Standard shop floor PPE requirements, including eye protection and steel-toed shoes; additional requirements may be added by EHS based on hazard surveys. #J-18808-Ljbffr chromalloy
