Precision VMC Operator

Imagine Your Week

Four days on, three days off. You’ll work Monday–Thursday on 2nd shift, running ten-hour shifts that give you a long weekend every week. You arrive to a clean, organized cell, review setup documentation and Job Instruction Manuals (JIM Books), and get your milling centers warmed up. From there, it’s all about producing repeatable, high-quality parts—safely and efficiently.

What a Shift Looks Like

• Run established CNC vertical machining centers following setup sheets and work instructions.
• Load and unload parts, verify offsets/tool touch-offs as directed, and keep production moving at the expected rate.
• Keep an eye on machine behavior, escalate tooling or equipment issues to supervision promptly, and help maintain uptime.
• Check part quality in-process using calipers and micrometers; read basic blueprints to confirm critical features.
• Record accurate production data in JobBOSS, complete job travelers, and finish all required quality documentation.
• Collaborate closely with Set-Up Technicians, Quality, and Production Supervisors; pitch in wherever needed across the department.
• Follow safe machining practices, know emergency stop procedures, and keep your station spotless and audit-ready.

Quality First

• Interpret basic prints and work instructions to understand features and specs.
• Verify parts meet customer requirements before continuing production.
• Identify, segregate, and report scrap or suspect material immediately.
• Document inspections completely and accurately.
