• Hand Tool Operation: Safely and effectively utilize a variety of hand tools, air tools, and shop equipment to modify, smooth, and perfect machined parts.
• Production Support: Work efficiently alongside the primary machining team to keep production schedules moving on the second shift.
• Safety & Compliance: Maintain a clean, organized workstation and strictly adhere to all facility safety protocols.

• Relevant Experience: Prior hands-on experience performing deburring or metal grinding in a shop or manufacturing environment.
• Measurement Literacy: Proven ability to accurately read and interpret calipers, micrometers, and various types of measuring gauges.
• Professional Reliability: A strong work ethic paired with a consistent, reliable work history that shows dedication to your past roles.
• Screening: All candidates must be willing to submit to a pre-employment background check and drug screening.
