Job Description

Language: English or Spanish

You clock in at Power Services Group and review the day’s repair tickets. A high‑precision component needs to be brought back to spec. You study the blueprint, verify dimensions with micrometers and gauges, and lay out your plan. The lathe turns first cuts, the vertical mill follows for intricate features, and the grinder finishes surfaces to tight tolerances. Along the way, you document results, flag questionable material, and recommend small process tweaks that will save minutes on the next run. Before moving to assembly, you wipe down the area, check guarding, and confirm your measurements match the print—every time.
