Pattern Finisher (Weekend Shift)
About The Position
The Pattern Finisher prepares patterns for assembly and soluble cores for pattern molding. This role involves wax welding multiple components using fixtures to maintain dimensional conformity and repairing wax patterns and soluble cores according to quality standards. The objective is to assemble pattern components and/or make dimensional alterations to patterns, fix broken or damaged patterns and soluble cores, restore pattern and soluble core surfaces to meet visual inspection criteria, and identify patterns with specified serial pads and numbers. The position also requires adherence to safety practices and potentially training less skilled personnel.
