- Operating Mazak CNC machines
- Loading/unloading materials and monitoring machine cycles
- Making basic offsets and adjustments where required
- Checking parts against drawings and specifications
- Working to production targets while maintaining quality standards
- Supporting general shop floor operations where needed
What They’re Looking For

- Ability to read and understand engineering drawings
- Good attention to detail
