What are the responsibilities and job description for the Thermal Processing Operator - 2nd or 3rd Shift - Tues-Fri (4 Day Workweek!) position at Solar Atmospheres, Inc.?
Not many people can say they played a role in making parts for spaceships, airplanes, medical devices such as pacemakers, and so much more! You can be one of the few as a Furnace Operator at Solar Atmospheres in Souderton, PA!
Our Furnace Operators carry out vacuum heat treating and brazing services to some of the most notable companies out there. With extensive training (typically 6 months), you’ll learn the ropes from our tenured co-workers to provide services of the highest possible quality. Whether you have experience or not, with the right attitude, attention to detail, and some basic math skills, all duties can be trained with room for growth.
Since we are a 24/7 operation to meet our customer’s needs, we are looking to add team members to our 2nd (2 PM-12:30 AM) and 3rd shift's (10 PM-8:30 AM) which are Tuesday through Friday night.
What you’ll do
You probably don’t like being micromanaged which is good because we don’t like to micromanage. As a Furnace Operator, you’ll work independently, owning your projects from start to finish. Projects vary in length so you’ll juggle a few projects at once, switching between tasks throughout the day. It’s never a dull moment- from tracking the furnace’s performance one moment to packing in or out a project the next. While every day might be a little different, you can expect to do the following:
- Planning and changing out furnace loads and packing all orders
- Operating furnaces and other shop equipment
- Maintaining clean and orderly work areas (we pride ourselves on safety and cleanliness)
- Follow project instructions and complete all customer labeling and packaging requirements
- Configure and monitor settings on programs, recorders, and vacuum gauges
- Work efficiently while ensuring company quality standards are maintained
- Utilize a forklift and overhead crane as needed
What you need to thrive in this role
- High School Diploma or GED required
- Basic math skills will serve you very well
- Reliable and organized with the ability to multitask and prioritize
- Comfortability working in a fast-paced environment moving around consistently throughout the day
- Ability to lift, bend, reach, and stand for extended periods of time
- Experience in manufacturing, warehouse, or heat treatment is a plus but willing to train!
- Forklift and Overhead Crane experience/licensure a plus
