CNC Machinist

Roles and responsibilities

In this role, you will be responsible for adhering to regulations and maintaining quality, security, and safety standards. Your primary tasks will include diagnosing faults, performing maintenance, and repairing various types of CNC assets promptly and professionally to ensure they return to operational service. You will execute preventive maintenance tasks and planned work orders, providing feedback aimed at enhancing program efficiency.

You will study blueprints, sketches, drawings, manuals, and specifications to determine the dimensions and tolerances of finished workpieces, along with the sequence of operations and setup requirements. Additionally, you will calculate and set controls to regulate machining factors such as speed, feed, coolant flow, and depth and angle of cut. This may involve entering commands to retrieve, input, or edit computerized machine control media in accordance with established guidelines.

Verifying the conformance of finished workpieces to specifications using measuring and inspection tools will also be part of your responsibilities. You will understand and support the implementation of the Asset Management Policy, the Strategic Asset Management Plan (SAMP), and the Asset Management System.

Additionally, you may undertake special projects as needed and continuously seek to improve operations by reducing turnaround times and streamlining work processes. A commitment to providing seamless customer service is expected.
