CNC Machinist
When you think of warehouse, most people think of picking orders, forklifts, loading & unloading trailers and taking products to their designated locations. But there is a career as a “CNC Machine Operator.” I used to be a machinist on a manual lathe and a CNC lathe in 2000-2001. I actually have a friend that’s a machinist that gross’s 190k annually as a machinist. Pay is great and it’s not back breaking work. Here is some information if you are interested in learning more on how to become a CNC operator.
Some of the primary duties of a CNC machinist include:
Reading engineered drawings and blueprints to determine the specifications of the parts being made.
Studying sample parts when specifications are not available to identify the part requirements.
Preparing working sketches.
Calculating measurements, dimensions, and tolerances with no discrepancies.
Identify, measure, and mark materials for machining.
Setting up computer instructions to operate CNC machines.
Operating various equipment to produce the desired product.
Verifying measurements and tolerances against specifications.
Performing heat treatment on individual components as required.
You will also need a High School diploma, find an employer that will apprentice you, attend a school for training, receive your Journeyman status, achieve your red seal status, and continue ongoing training. I’m providing a link, but check your region for more accurate information.
Toughest thing right now it’s not getting paid enough after 40 years experience
