• Assembled products according to changing daily work orders and specific customer needs.
• Adjusted machines to increase productivity for runs.
• Inspected products and machines to maintain quality and efficiency.
• Examined incoming materials and compared to documentation for accuracy and quality.
• Made sure that products were produced on time and are of good quality.
• Calibrated machines to maintain required productivity levels and adherence to quality standards.
• Trained new production staff members on safe and efficient production procedures and proper machine operations.
• Met production targets and tight deadlines by collaborating closely with team members.
• Organized and prepared workstations and materials needed for operations to maximize productivity.
• Reviewed production schedules and streamlined processes.

I inspected,measured and miked bundles of steel before I packaged them. I wrapped and bundled of steel to customers specifications.

• Manually set up machinery, lathes, and grinders.
• Used CNC and manual equipment to perform both initial and final machining.
• Studied daily work instruction, sketches, drawings, blueprints, and manuals to determine dimensions and tolerances accurately.
• Calibrated machines to maintain required productivity levels and adherence to quality standards.
• Completed projects on time and under budget and maintained equipment and tools.
• Operated drill presses, lathes and milling machines to produce required parts.
• Lubricated parts and performed minor and preventive maintenance to improve machine function and increase lifespan.
• Utilized micrometers and calipers to measure and verify precise tolerances.
• Adjusted machine settings to reduce waste and improve efficiency.
• Inspected completed parts to verify compliance with specifications and quality standards.
• Worked with team members to improve production processes and procedures.
• Adjusted machines to increase productivity for runs.
• Developed jigs, fixtures and tooling to meet production requirements.
• Adapted quickly to new and changing technologies in machining field.
• Collaborated with engineers and other machinists to develop optimal machining processes.
• Operated CNC and manual lathes, mills and drill presses to produce precision machined components.
• Repaired and maintained machine tools, fixtures and other production equipment.
• Calibrated and aligned machine components for proper functioning.
• Used various precision measuring instruments to check workpiece accuracy.
