CNC Plasma Cutting Technician (Torchmate)

CNC Plasma Cutting Technician (Torchmate)

Reports To : Production Manager

Department : Production

A day in this role

You clock in, review the day’s cut lists, and pull up the CAD files you’ll use to nest parts for maximum yield. You stage plate and sheet, rig the material with an overhead crane or forklift, and set up the Torchmate CNC plasma table. You dial in settings for stainless, mild steel, or aluminum, considering thickness and edge quality. As the arc starts, you monitor kerf, speed, and consumables, pausing for in-process checks with calipers and a tape measure. Parts are deburred, tagged, and moved to the next operation—maybe the Cincinnati press brake for forming, a Hurco CNC for machining ops, or prep for paint or insulation finishing. You finish the shift with preventive maintenance, housekeeping, and a quick huddle with fabrication teammates to plan tomorrow’s builds.
