ACME Machinist - 1st Shift

PCC Talent Acquisition Portal•Irvine, CA

About The Position

Screw machine operators perform various tasks with one or more multiple-spindle, automatic lathe-type screw machines. These machines produce custom parts from stock metal or other materials. Screw machine operators ensure the machine is correctly set up to perform the various operations needed to produce these parts. Operators read blueprints and determine exactly what screw machine settings are needed to create an actual working part from the plans. The operator chooses cutting speeds, the depth of cuts, how fast the machine should run, and which cutting tools should be used for each operation. Operators base their decisions on experience, knowledge about the materials used, and basic mathematic principles.

Requirements

Must be able to read Blueprints/Geometric tolerances in English.
Must be familiar with machinist and hand tools (micrometers, verniers, indicators, scales, and dial bore gage.
Must be a team player, flexible, self-directed /self-motivated, and possess a positive attitude.
Must be skilled at problem-solving, thinking outside the box, and acceptance of change and innovation.
Must be open to coaching and training and willing to learn all machines/cells.

Nice To Haves

HS Diploma or GED is required; concentration in machining would be a plus.
