CNC Setter/Operator
This role has the responsibility for supporting with the production of machined parts by setting and operating CNC equipment whilst maintaining quality and safety standards.
At SEM, we design and manufacture high performance electrical industrial motors. Established in 1914, we are justifiably proud of our heritage and history. People are at the centre of everything we do and we all share one common goal; to provide the best quality products on time to our customers.
Flexible, lean and innovative; we’ve heavily invested in modernising our manufacturing capabilities in pursuit of technical excellence. As a result, we now boast one of the most advanced machine shops in the South East. We’re on a journey of continuous improvement and it’s for that reason that we are looking for talented people that can support us with this. A career with SEM can be hugely rewarding; we will provide you with as much support and guidance as you need, whilst giving you the autonomy to make the role your own.
Responsibilities include:
* Setting up and operating CNC grinders, CNC milling machines and CNC lathes (Siemens, Fanuc, Heidenhain and Traub controls) as per defined tolerance levels
* Verifying the machine settings by measuring positions, carrying out trial runs and sampling work pieces
* Maintaining specifications by observing operations, detecting malfunctions, troubleshooting processes and adhering to quality assurance procedures.
* Maintaining equipment by completing preventative maintenance processes as per manufacturer instructions; troubleshooting malfunctions where possible and escalating to the relevant engineers for issues that fall outside of remit
* Maintaining continuity among work shifts by documenting and communicating actions, irregularities and continuing needs
* Documenting actions by completing production and quality logs
* Identifying improvements that have a direct impact on SQDCP KPI’S (Safety, Quality, Delivery, Cost and People)
Our perfect CNC Setter/Operator would have:
* Experience of working within a similar role in a manufacturing environment with proven exposure to CNC machinery would prove advantageous
