Looking for another set of hands in my machine shop. I've got 5 CNC's right now, and may be buying number 6 at some point this year. At this point, I can't really justify a full time employee as I can pretty well keep them running on my own, but I could use some part time help so that I can free up a few hours to get caught up on my office/paper work and process improvement projects.
I'd like to throw this out there to anyone that has a college student in the area studying engineering, science major or something manufacturing related. A high school kid is fine too as long as they have reliable transportation, and intend to study one of the fore mentioned topics when they finish high school.
I expect I can keep them busy 15-25 hours per week. Start at $15/hr. Schedule can be flexible around class times, I'm usually there between 5-6am and stay until at least 6pm, usually 6 or 7 days per week, so we can certainly work something out.
What they will learn from me:
- Set up & operation of CNC lathes & Mills
- Blue print reading
- Inspection & QC
- Process improvement activities
- Calibration
- Hand finishing
- Depending on how long they stay with me, may get into CNC programming & manufacturing engineering
What I expect from them:
- Reliability. I don't tolerate people I can't count on.
- Honesty. I've been doing this a long time and can get past just about any honest mistake. I can't tolerate someone that tries to hide their mistakes or is otherwise deceitful
- Willingness to learn and take on any necessary task. Every shop has some dirty grunt work that has to be done. I'm the owner and I'm not too good to sweep floors or clean a toilet, so my employees won't be too good for it either.
