1st Shift CNC Mill Operator

Griffin Armament
Watertown, WI Full Time
POSTED ON 1/21/2025
AVAILABLE BEFORE 2/1/2025

Want to work in a challenging professional environment? Griffin is looking for experienced milling machine operators to join our first shift team.

HOW DO YOU APPLY?

The federal agency governing our industry requires us to conduct a background check before we hire. A background check will be conducted.

We have a thriving team environment and are selective when we add team members to our company.

APPLICANTS WHO DO NOT SUBMIT A RESUME AND DRIVERS LICENSE SCAN/PHOTO WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY DELETED.

Ability to lift to 50 pounds periodically is required.

Experience in 4 & 5 axis Mills with MAZAK or FANUC controls is a plus but is not required. We are looking for people who have motivation, drive, and experience to safely and efficiently conduct:

  • Production manufacturing
  • Assisting with work holding and fixturing
  • Part inspections
  • Accuracy of work and attention to detail are critical. We have established protocols for safely running the machines in a step-by-step format. Adherence and respect for training and protocols are critical to success in the position.
  • Production setup for production manufacturing is your primary duty in this position. You will be responsible for minimizing lost time by efficiently managing yourself and the machines.
  • Team cohesion: bring a good attitude to work daily
  • Communicate with other members of the team in order to maintain efficiency, accuracy, and quality of work.
  • The ability to care.
  • Put forth the "extra effort", keep your areas clean, take pride in your work.
  • Possess a "can do" attitude. Training will be provided on anything that you need to know in order to perform at a high level.
  • Respect for others is necessary; this includes management, and peers.
  • Bring energy to the job. Ultimately the best employees are people who can take action, get things done quickly and follow through to completion.
  • Learn quickly. Implement job knowledge in a positive way that results in high product quality.

You will be responsible for minimizing lost time by efficiently managing yourself and the machines to go from workpiece to workpiece seamlessly. While machines are running, operators should be checking parts, organizing tools, managing coolant, and materials, etc.

You will be supported by higher-level skilled industry professionals who can assist in augmenting your success at Griffin Armament through the training and integration process. All operators go through an on-the-job transitional training process, which is relatively relaxed and focused. However, if you have an average work drive or lack of attention to detail or safety, please do not apply. This position will be expected to utilize the company set protocols for safe and efficient cell operation. Machines include the use of tool life management, tool load monitoring, high-pressure coolant systems, as well as automatic tool setters and part probes to ensure quality and efficiency. Our milling machines are current industry technology and are well featured and equipped to produce quality parts efficiently as long as operators adhere to and respect the companies protocols.
