Laser Cutting Technician

Laser Cutting Technician – Sheet Metal Fabrication

Build What Matters. Run the Technology Behind It.

We're looking for a Laser Cutting Technician to join our sheet metal fabrication team. This is more than simply loading and unloading a machine. You'll operate advanced laser cutting equipment, transform raw sheet metal into precision components, and play an important role in producing the products our customers rely on.

If you enjoy working with machinery, solving problems, working with your hands, and seeing a finished product come together, this is an opportunity to build valuable manufacturing skills while working in a fast-paced production environment.

What You'll Do

• Operate CNC laser cutting equipment to accurately cut sheet metal components according to customer and production requirements.
• Set up and prepare laser equipment for production runs, including loading material and verifying machine settings.
• Read and interpret blueprints, drawings, work instructions, and production specifications.
• Verify material type, thickness, dimensions, and part requirements before and during production.
• Inspect completed parts using measuring tools such as calipers, micrometers, gauges, and other inspection equipment.
• Monitor machine performance and make appropriate adjustments to maintain quality and productivity.
• Identify and troubleshoot basic machine, material, and production issues.
• Perform first-piece and in-process inspections to ensure parts meet specifications.
• Maintain accurate production and quality records.
• Safely handle sheet metal and finished components using appropriate material-handling equipment.
• Keep the work area clean, organized, and compliant with safety and 5S standards.
• Perform routine machine cleaning and basic preventative maintenance as required.
• Communicate production, quality, material, and equipment issues to the appropriate team members.
• Work closely with other members of the fabrication team to keep production moving efficiently.
• Follow all safety, quality, and production procedures.
