JOB SUMMARY:

As a CNC Mill Operator, you would be running a TRD-25, long bed mill with a 25-foot by 2-foot bed.  Much of the work on this mill is to add features to lengths of square and rectangular tubes.

As a CNC Mill Operator, you will be part of a skilled team of craftsmen working with state of the art machinery.  Your input will help determine how we approach each project, and develop the plan for turning customer designs into quality finished products. You will be tasked to read and interpret fabrication drawings as you layout and machine the various parts of the project. You will be challenged to produce parts pushing the limits of what the mill can machine.  You will use your machining skills to produce exacting and cosmetically appealing products. We encourage thinking outside the box to make us more competitive.

Responsibilities:

  • Carefully review and interpret Shop Drawings & machining programs to make good parts the first time.
  • Verify tooling selection, inspect tooling, set tooling and run first article parts.
