CNC Machine Operator
About The Position
The CNC Machine Operator will be responsible for loading parts, operating controls, machining parts, inspecting parts, following all established processes for conformance to requirements, and deburring parts if required. This role involves checking and monitoring parts being run, following sequences of operations and set-up requirements under supervision, and reading basic dimensions and tolerances from blueprints. The operator will also be responsible for achieving Earned Standard Hours Goals and Objectives, ensuring proper documentation completion (including PCDs, clocking in/out, and daily checklists in Paper or Syteline), and diligently following Orizon’s process and procedures for nonconformance parts. Participation in and sustaining Ultra C-Lean objectives is also a key responsibility. The role includes maintaining proper inventory of hand tools and inspection equipment, detecting equipment malfunctions or out-of-tolerance machining, and reporting them to supervision. Maintaining a safe and clean work environment in compliance with established policies and procedures is essential. Setting up machines and tool offsets is required, but must be confirmed by a Team Lead or Machinist prior to running. The operator will fill out the Tie-In-Book with detailed notes on completed work, problems encountered (like broken tools or machine alerts), and complete all setup and shadow board checkboxes. Each unloaded part must be marked with the employee number and associated operation. Other duties as assigned by supervision may be required.
