They may drill, melt, bolt, or hone metal in order to complete the design in the blueprint they are following. A CNC Operator normally works on items like engine parts or other metal machinery through the use of a Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC). They must use several machines and tools to plan the design. They are also responsible for verifying very precise measurements prior to production. Additionally, a CNC Operator maintains their machinery at all times to ensure optimal workflow.

Duties and responsibilities:

A CNC Operator has many duties and responsibilities in any field of production. Some things expected of a CNC Operator daily include:

• Ability to program both CAD and CAM systems (including, but not limited to, SolidWorks and SolidCAM) and execute basic G-code programming directly on a 3-axis horizontal CNC machine control. 4 and 5-axis programming is preferred.
• Set machine controls, measure and load tools, fixtures, tapes, programs, and operate machine.
• Use hand-tools, ratchets and other devices to secure parts and fixtures Machine parts to blueprint specifications. Ability to read and interpret design blueprints. Work with tolerances.
• Read and understand blueprint designs
