CNC Plasma / Burn Table Operator
About The Position
We cut the steel that becomes destroyers, aircraft carriers, and submarines. We need someone on nights to run our CNC burn table. If you have run one before, awesome, come talk to us. If you have not, but you are good with computers, can read a drawing, and have some CAD or CNC background, we will teach you the rest. We would rather train a sharp, hard-working technical person than wait around for a unicorn. This is a manufacturing floor. You will be on your feet for most of the shift, lifting up to 50 pounds at times, and climbing, balancing, stooping, and walking the plant and yard while carrying materials. PPE is required at all times in the plant and yard. The shop is hot in July and cold in January. If that is not for you, no hard feelings — but if it is, you will like it here. This is a full-time, safety-sensitive position. ITAR Requirements: In order to comply with U.S. government regulations applicable to this position, all applicants must be either a U.S. Citizen, a lawful permanent resident of the U.S as defined in 8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(20), or a “protected individual” as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3). This is a full-time Non-exempt and a safety sensitive position.
Requirements
- Comfortable working on a computer — you will be in cutting and loading nests all shift
- Able to read shop drawings and mechanical prints, or able to pick it up quickly
- Solid math and a real eye for detail — this is measured work, not eyeballed work
- Read and write English (this is a safety-sensitive position)
- Show up. Night shift only works when people are reliable.
- U.S. Citizen, a lawful permanent resident of the U.S as defined in 8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(20), or a “protected individual” as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3).
