Columbus McKinnon Corp.
Job Description
Job Description
Step into a day on our floor
You start by opening Epicor to review work orders, pulling the setup instructions and prints for the jobs queued. With the blueprints in hand, you choose the right program for a vertical mill or lathe, making quick G-code edits where needed. You tool up, dial in fixtures, and perform changeovers with care—manual steps included—because holding tolerance to print is non‑negotiable.
As parts run, you inspect with calipers and other hand metrology tools, nudging tool and work offsets whenever measurements drift. You deburr finished parts with a wheel or hand tools, scan them into Epicor, and log dates and job details so the next operation has everything it needs. When a new idea could shave seconds or improve quality, you pull an engineer aside and collaborate to fine‑tune the process.
What you will do- Set up and operate vertical mills and lathes to produce custom parts within print tolerance.
- Review work orders; pull setup instructions and prints directly from Epicor.
- Interpret blueprints and select, adjust, or partially write CNC programs as needed.
- Execute changeovers with precision; manage both manual and automated steps.
- Deburr to spec using a deburring wheel and hand tools.
- Measure parts with calipers and other hand tools; verify conformance to tolerance.
- Apply offsets when parts trend out of spec to maintain accuracy.
- Scan parts into Epicor and record dates and job details for traceability.
- Partner with engineers to optimize cycle time, tooling, and overall efficiency.
- A collaborative, team‑first approach and clear communication.
- Strong mechanical aptitude and confident blueprint reading.
- Ability to think abstractly and solve ambiguous problems on the fly.
- Flexibility to shift priorities as work demands change.
- Analytical, organized, and detail‑driven work style.
- High School Diploma.
- Ability to safely lift/lower/push/pull up to 40 lbs.
- Proficient in reading and editing G‑code.
- 2+ years operating similar CNC equipment preferred.
- Performance review criteria to proceed in the process: at most two "Inconsistent" ratings on the most recent review; no "Unsatisfactory" ratings; and no more than one documented written warning within the past 12 months.
- CNC Mill (3–4 axis VMC) (Okuma, Dmg Mori Seiki, Fanuc, Bridgeport, Mazak, Haas, Doosan)
- CNC Lathe (2–4 axis) (Mazak, Haas, Okuma, Doosan, Dmg Mori Seiki, Samsung, Hyundai - Wia)
- CNC Swiss Lathe
- CNC Mill (5+ axis VMC)
- CNC Lathe (5+ axis)
