Key Responsibilities
Machine Setup & Calibration: Prepare and set up machines (., adjusting speeds, feeds, temperatures, or replacing tooling attachments) before starting a production run according to standard operating procedures (SOPs).
Production Line Operation: Run machinery continuously, ensuring raw materials are loaded properly and the output rate meets target efficiency goals.
Quality Control Inspection: Regularly inspect finished components during the production run using manual measuring tools (like micrometers, vernier calipers, or go/no-go gauges) to catch structural defects early.
Routine Maintenance & Troubleshooting: Perform basic daily maintenance tasks such as oiling gears, cleaning filters, and clearing simple material jams. Report major mechanical or electrical failures to the maintenance crew immediately.
Safety & Compliance: Strictly follow all plant safety protocols, including the correct use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) like safety shoes, glasses, and ear protection. Adhere to Lockout-Tagout (LOTO) rules during cleaning or maintenance.
Production Logs: Maintain accurate shift records, including total output numbers, material scrap tracking charts, and machine downtime logs.
