Requirements

• Read and interpret blueprints and work instructions
• Work to tight tolerances (down to four decimal places)
• Carry out first-piece inspections to make sure work meets spec
• Spot and troubleshoot mechanical issues on machines
• Keep your work area clean and organized
• Follow all safety procedures (non-negotiable)
• Pitch in with other tasks as needed

Benefits

• Competitive pay for the area
• Variety in your day—job mix changes daily
• Opportunities to learn new skills and cross-train across machines
• Overtime is usually optional, but regularly available if interested
• Climate-controlled manufacturing environment
• A supportive team and solid shop culture
• Work that isn’t overly physically demanding
