  • Use measuring tools such as calipers, gauges, pins, and micrometers
  • Read blueprints and verify drawing requirements
  • Ensure machines have coolant and basic readiness for operation
  • Start up and shut down machines as required
  • Complete travelers, part counts, and revision checks
  • Log production activity into Epicor ERP
  • Maintain a safe and clean work environment
  • Support team production goals and assist where needed


What We're Looking For
