Amada CNC Turret Systems Specialist

Argon Industries- Milwaukee Facility • Milwaukee, WI

1d • Onsite

About The Position

Based in Milwaukee, WI, you will be the go-to specialist keeping our Amada CNC turret systems running at peak performance. Our equipment is highly automated with automatic loading, which keeps physical strain low; however, your understanding of tooling and setup is key to unlocking full capability and throughput. A Day in the Life You start by verifying the previous shift's logs and performing a quick condition check: tooling, turret stations, and material handling. A minor alarm pops—no sweat—you diagnose, correct, and document the fix. Midday, you fine-tune a setup to improve cycle time, then collaborate with teammates to standardize the change. Before wrap-up, you complete preventive checks so the next run starts flawlessly, and you coach a newer tech on best practices. If you love technology, enjoy problem-solving, and want to grow in a supportive, innovative shop, this role is for you.

Requirements

• High school diploma or equivalent; technical training or certification preferred.
• Hands-on experience with turret machinery (Amada strongly preferred) or related systems.
• Strong mechanical aptitude and proven troubleshooting ability.
• Comfort reading technical manuals, prints, and schematics.
• Team-first communicator who collaborates well across shifts.
• Consistent commitment to safety and quality standards.

Responsibilities

• Set up, operate, and maintain Amada turret equipment for reliable, efficient production.
• Diagnose mechanical and control issues and implement lasting corrective actions.
• Execute routine inspections and preventive maintenance to reduce unplanned downtime.
• Partner with peers to improve processes, tooling strategies, and throughput.
• Record repairs, inspections, and setup notes with clear, accurate documentation.
• Champion safety and 5S, keeping the cell clean, organized, and audit-ready.
• Support onboarding and upskilling of new technicians by sharing knowledge.
