What are the responsibilities and job description for the CNC Plasma Machine Operator position at ARMI Contractors?
ABOUT ARMI
THE ROLE
As CNC Plasma Machinist, you run our containerized 5-axis CNC plasma pipe cutting machine at active jobsites — miters, saddles, holes, and weld-prep bevels on pipe of every size, cut right the first time and staged ahead of the crews. You’re the cutting line for a lean field team. One machine, every spool. High ownership.
WHAT YOU'LL OWN
- The machine — program, set up, and run the 5-axis CNC plasma pipe cutter and two plasma machines, jobsite to jobsite
- Weld prep — bevel angles and lands cut to the WPS, so welders strike an arc instead of grinding
- Programming — cuts built from isometric and spool drawings; cut sheets sequenced to stay ahead of every crew
- Quality & traceability — dimensions, angles, and bevels verified before parts leave the conex; heat numbers tracked from pipe to piece
- The conex — mobilization setup (power, air, gas, fume management), an organized production-ready station, and road-ready teardown
- Maintenance — daily torch and machine care, consumable changes, issues flagged before they become downtime
- Safety — hot work permits, fire watch, rigging, PPE, and client site rules — including sanitation boundaries in operating food plants
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- 2 years running CNC cutting equipment, or strong pipe fitting/fabrication experience with the aptitude to learn the machine — we will train the right pipe person
- Ability to read isometric and spool drawings, weld symbols, and cut sheets
- Working knowledge of weld prep — you know why the bevel spec matters, not just how to cut it
- Experience with plasma cutting of carbon and stainless pipe preferred
- Forklift or telehandler ability and safe rigging practices
- Organized, self-directed, and production-minded — crews count on what comes out of your conex every hour
- Valid driver’s license and clean driving record required; travel to project sites as needed
- Must successfully pass a pre-employment drug screen and background check
WHAT ARMI OFFERS
Base hourly pay automatic time and a half over 40 hours time and a half every Saturday double time every Sunday. Work a holiday? You receive your full 8-hour holiday pay plus double time for every hour on the job. Our people in the field out-earn the market — the weekly check proves it.
