Job Description :MachinistEyesight RequirementMust be able to read a Jager Level 2 eye chart from 16 inches, with or without the useof prescriptive lenses.Taking Pride in Your WorkmanshipPride in workmanship means always aiming to deliver the highest level of quality inevery task. For machinists working in production environments with a variety ofproducts, this means paying close attention to detail, following precise procedures, andmaintaining a commitment to excellence. Taking pride in your work ensures that everycomponent is manufactured with accuracy and consistency, resulting in precisionworkmanship. When machinists take pride in what they do, it is reflected in the reliabilityand quality of the finished products.First-Time-Through Quality MindsetAdopting a "first time through" quality mindset means striving to produce every partcorrectly on the very first attempt, eliminating the need for rework or adjustments. Thisapproach helps minimize defects, reduce material waste, and optimize productionefficiency. By thoroughly reviewing blueprints, double-checking machine setups, andstaying attentive during each operation, machinists can avoid errors and consistentlydeliver precise, high-quality components.Accurate Job ReportingOperators are responsible for clocking in and out on jobs and posting quantitiesaccurately. This accountability ensures proper labor tracking, supports productionplanning, and maintains transparency throughout the manufacturing process.Skills and AbilitiesMachinist Level I?
