Classification

Hourly, Non-Exempt, Full-Time (Monday through Friday, 3:00PM to 11:00PM, and as required to maintain business momentum).

Essential Functions

Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the following essential functions:

1. Set up and operate computer-controlled machines to perform one or more machine functions on metal or plastic workpieces.
2. Modify cutting programs to account for problems encountered during operation and then save modified programs per standard filename and archiving conventions.
3. Monitor machine operations and control panel displays, comparing readings to specifications to detect malfunctions. Adjust machine feed and speed, change cutting tools, or adjust machine controls when automatic programming is faulty or if machines malfunction.
4. Check to ensure that workpieces are properly lubricated and cooled during machine operation.
5. Mount, install, align, and secure tools, attachments, fixtures, and workpieces on machines, using hand tools and precision measuring instruments. Stop machines to remove finished workpieces or to change tooling, setup, or workpiece placement, according to required machining sequences. Set up future jobs while machines are operating current jobs.
6. Maintain machines within operator-level scope; remove and replace broken or worn machine components using hand tools. Listen to machines during operation to detect sounds such as those made by dull cutting tools or excessive vibration and adjust to compensate for problems.
7. Measure dimensions of finished workpieces to ensure conformance to specifications, using precision measuring instruments, templates, and fixtures.
8. Operate manual machines and perform deburr operations as needed to flow critical orders through the Machine Shop.
9. Clean machines, tooling, or parts, using solvents or solutions, and rags.
10. Operate with a continual improvement mindset to improve various performance aspects: safety, quality (yield), throughput, on-time delivery, gross profit, and optimal inventory.
11. Suggest improve-the-business projects of varying degrees of effort and impact (e.g. layout changes, process/flow improvements, installation of capital equipment, maintenance of equipment).
12. Support various programs essential to production procedures (e.g. training, safety, housekeeping, employee engagement, security, etc.); document any issues or incidents in a timely manner and follow through to ensure resolution.
13. Maintain assigned areas with respect to safety and 5S. This includes cleaning of assigned areas each day, consolidating trash containers, dumping trash into the compactor, and operating the compactor.
14. Help restock and organize supplies/tooling area as needed.
15. Maintain a culture of accountability and responsibility, understanding that responsibility is broader than accountability (accountability is who owns results, whereas responsibility is the ability to respond and can be exercised by anyone with initiative).
16. Perform other duties as required and assigned; duties and activities may change over time.
