Job Description

Day in the Life in Britton, SD

Your shift begins by reviewing the job traveler and blueprints, selecting tooling, and preparing your machine cell. You dial in offsets, calibrate your CNC, and run a first-piece to verify every feature against the print. Throughout the run, you keep an eye on cycle performance, make minor adjustments to maintain quality, and document machine settings so the next run starts smoothly. When issues arise, you handle routine maintenance and troubleshoot to keep production moving. You work shoulder-to-shoulder with engineering and production to fine-tune processes and you leave the area spotless and safe for the next teammate.

• Collaborate with engineering and production teams to improve setup efficiency and part quality.
• Maintain accurate records of production parameters, tooling, and machine settings.
• Follow safety procedures and keep a clean, orderly work environment.
