LASER CUTTING MACHINE OPERATOR
Charlotte, NC | Skilled Trades Services

If you’ve got real time behind a laser—this 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.

You MUST have hands-on laser cutting experience
You MUST have worked with at least one of these:

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

Aluminum

WHO THRIVES HERE

Operators who take pride in clean, accurate work
People who show up, get it done, and do it right

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

READY TO APPLY?

If you’ve got the experience and want to be part of a solid operation— we want to talk to you.
