Machinist -1st shift

Twin City Fan & Blower•Mitchell, SD

168d•Onsite

About The Position

This position involves producing machined parts, products, or components using CNC Vertical milling machines and manual/conventional equipment. The role requires programming, setting up, and operating machinery, as well as performing quality checks and collaborating with engineering to resolve issues. The machinist will also be involved in creating patterns and parts using CAD/CAM software, adjusting machines to maintain quality, and making prototypes. A strong understanding of materials, stresses, and the ability to discern subtle differences in objects is necessary. The role also includes optimizing material and tooling usage, verifying and editing code, transforming 2D drawings into 3D objects and vice versa, attending training, and performing basic machine maintenance. Maintaining a safe and organized workspace and adhering to company values are also key aspects of the position. Other duties may be assigned.
