A day on the swing shift (3:00pm - 11:30pm)

You begin by reviewing blueprints with GD&T, staging tooling, and confirming offsets. You prove programs, load materials, and kick off the first runs on VTL, Mazak, and BTH machines. During cycles, you blend and deburr, verify critical dimensions, and fine-tune tooling wear. You monitor coolant and oil levels, proactively troubleshoot any performance dips, and keep production flowing. When something needs attention, you order and replace parts for equipment repairs. Throughout, you uphold Tri Tool’s core values and safety standards while collaborating closely with supervisors, programmers, and teammates.

What you will do

• Own setup-to-production on assigned CNC mills and lathes, ensuring parts meet print and tolerance requirements.
• Operate VTL, Mazak, and BTH machining centers using blueprints and a solid understanding of GD&T relationships.
• Load tooling, measure tool length offsets, assemble job-specific tooling boxes, and design and produce fixturing for upcoming work.
• Inspect in-process and finished parts for accuracy; identify flaws or concerns and correct promptly.
• Communicate workholding and programming feedback to the supervisor and machine programmer.
• Load and unload raw materials and finished components per job plan.
• Blend and deburr parts during machine cycles to maintain flow.
• Monitor tooling condition, adjust parameters, and replace as needed.
• Proactively track machine performance, troubleshoot errors or low output, and maintain proper coolant and oil levels.
• Program and edit in Mazatrol, Fanuc, and G-code.
• Maintain a safe, compliant work area and follow State, Federal, and Company safety regulations.
• Communicate effectively with coworkers and managers to keep production efficient.
