CNC Machine Operator - Day Shift

About the role

The CNC Operator runs the machining centers in crankcase manufacturing, machining crankcases to exact specifications with in-process quality assurance. The role offers a clear development path starting with line boring as the entry point, which needs no prior CNC experience, and growing into CNC machining on the Burkhardt & Weber (B&W) machines, with responsibility and pay increasing as operators progress.

Responsibilities

• Set up and machine crankcases according to specifications, routings, control plans, and drawings, on the line boring machine and, at the advanced level, on the Burkhardt & Weber (B&W) machining centers with Sinumerik One control system
• Bore and align the bearing alleys of the crankcase, including the camshaft and crankshaft bores, re-boring as required to achieve precise alignment
• Clamp, reclamp, and unclamp crankcases, monitor the process, and correct as necessary
• Monitor, change, correct, and adjust tools as required
• Study machining instructions, routings, control plans, job orders, and blueprints to determine dimensional and finish specifications, sequences of operations, machine setups, and tooling requirements

Requirements

• Entry level, line boring: Completed vocational training as a machine and plant operator or a comparable qualification, or a U.S. equivalent such as a mechanical or machining trade school certificate, an Associate's Degree, or relevant hands-on experience in a machining environment
• Direct work as CNC Operator on the B&W machines: Completed vocational training as an industrial mechanic specializing in production technology, or a comparable 3.5-year apprenticeship in a metalworking profession, or 2 years of trade school or an equivalent Associate's Degree, or 3 years of experience in a heavy-duty machining environment; several years of experience operating NC-controlled machining centers; and knowledge of Sinumerik One control system

Preferred Requirements

• Experience operating Burkhardt & Weber (B&W) machining centers
• Knowledge of Sinumerik One control system would be particularly advantageous
• Several years of experience on a conventional boring mill (e.g., Collet) would be an advantage
• Experience machining crankcases or large cast components
• Intermediate knowledge of CNC controls, machines, and tools, including their designs, uses, repair, and maintenance

Mental & Physical Requirements

• While performing the duties of this job, the employee is frequently required to walk and stand; sit; use hands or fingers, handle, or feel objects, tools, parts, or controls; reach with hands and arms; and talk or hear.
