Job Title: Laser Operator

ROLE:

You will operate our Amada, Mazak, and IPG Photonics lasers. We’ll often schedule long jobs to run concurrently with short jobs so multiple machines can be operated at once by one operator.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

· Safely, efficiently, and effectively set up and run our lasers

· Follow setup sheets and help revise old ones or generate new ones when needed

· As with all that work at Inland, help your fellow departments when they get in trouble

QUALIFICATIONS AND SKILLS REQUIRED:

· 3 years’ experience as a laser operator and able to run at least one type of our lasers

· Must be able to read and follow blueprints/drawings

· Must be able to properly use relevant inspection equipment such as calipers and height gages.
