Advanced Machine Operator
About The Position
This role exists to keep HCo's automated production lines running at rate and at quality. As an Advanced Machine Operator, you run the machines that handle the last step before assembly, and you are trained across all four of our lines: Matrix, Bypass, Flexline, and the Vector. It is built for someone who wants to master the machines, not just feed them — a person who needs to understand why a machine does what it does and is motivated by keeping it running clean. You will serve as an advanced operator and a redundant operator, protecting uptime and quality as the lines scale. This is an execution role: you own direct output (parts produced to spec, at rate, ready for the next team) and you enable others (coaching, documentation, clean handoffs). HCo is a custom cabinet and architectural millwork manufacturer building the future of American manufacturing — our standard is simple: More than they Expect. This is a real seat at that table.

Responsibilities

- Own daily and preventive maintenance on all four lines so they are production-ready.
- Keep the lines running so downstream teams are never waiting on parts.
- Use Innergy for time punching, job costing, and production tracking without supervisor guidance.
