Hand Operations 2nd Shift

Fairbanks Morse Defense•Beloit, WI

About The Position

The Hand Operations role performs a variety of hand operations on ferrous and non-ferrous metal parts, including cleaning and deburring parts, cleaning weldments, operating shot-blast equipment, and applying heresite, parco, or other treatments. The role works from blueprints, process documents, and specifications, with supervision from a Team Leader/Coordinator and no direction exercised. Duties include filing burrs and sharp edges, re-reaming and re-tapping parts, disassembling and assembling parts for cleaning, polishing and blending surfaces, washing or steam-cleaning parts, and checking parts against specifications with gages. The employee may also water- and hydro-test parts, use an imprex machine to identify and repair porosity, apply filler or paint, and stamp identification. Work may require maintaining tolerances of ± .001. For weldment cleaning and shot blasting, the employee removes weld splatter, sands surfaces, paints parts, plugs openings, tests for leaks, and drills and taps covers. The employee loads parts into a shot-blast booth, wears personal protective equipment, blast-cleans castings or weldments, replenishes shot, and makes minor equipment repairs or adjustments. Heresite duties include masking and plugging parts, filling and draining liner passages, cleaning excess heresite, baking parts, spraying and back-injecting openings, re-tapping threads, and checking dimensions. The employee may also clean the booth, wash plugs and bands, tend the oven, and cob-blast rusted parts. Parco duties include operating treatment tanks, moving parts through cleaning, rinse, oxidation, and oil solutions, staging and reworking cylinder liners, hand-tapping liners, and maintaining tanks and solutions to laboratory specifications. The role may also assist with paint records and lift medium-weight materials by hand, hoist, or crane.
