· Read and interpret engineering drawings, sketches, and tooling specifications to ensure accurate fabrication

· Select appropriate tooling, feeds, speeds, and machining methods based on material properties and design requirements

· Inspect and verify tooling dimensions using calipers, micrometers, height gauges, and dial indicators

· Collaborate with engineers and machine shop leadership to resolve tooling challenges and implement design improvements

· Assist with repairs, modifications, and reconditioning of existing tools to extend tool life and maintain performance

· Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work area in accordance with company safety policies

· Support continuous improvement in tooling efficiency, accuracy, and standardization

Qualifications

· Minimum 2 years of experience in a conventional machining role, with a focus on tooling fabrication or machine shop support

· Proficient in operating manual lathes, mills, and related equipment

· Strong ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings and specifications

· Experience machining large steel components with tight tolerances

· Skilled in the use of precision measuring instruments and quality verification techniques

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
