Do you enjoy switching between a Swiss lathe and a 5-axis mill? Can you read a complex GD&T callout and know exactly how to hold it? If you thrive on precision and uptime, this role is for you.
-
Own setups and daily operation of multiple CNC and manual machines—lathes, mills, grinders—delivering medical-grade parts to spec.
-
Optimize controls: set feeds, speeds, and overrides for consistency and repeatability.
-
Use machine command codes to retrieve data, restart programs, and clear/resolve alarms safely.
-
Read STERIS drawings and travelers; apply GD&T to plan workholding, tooling, and inspection.
-
Measure twice, cut once: verify dimensions with micrometers, calipers, gauges, and other precision metrology tools.
-
Champion safety—PPE on, rules followed, hazards reported immediately.
-
Keep your area audit-ready using 5S; prevent defects by managing tool life and spotting premature wear.
-
Hit commitments without sacrificing quality; follow policies and code of conduct communicated via handbook, bulletins, newsletters, and other STERIS channels.
-
Share what you know: help train operators and support cross-training.
-
High school diploma or GED required; technical degree a plus.
-
2+ years of hands-on machining experience.
-
Confident with CNC and conventional lathes and mills from setup through production.
-
Proficient in blueprint reading, GD&T, and production specs.
-
Comfortable with metrology tools and in-process inspection.
-
Strong math skills and a quality-first mindset; decisive and detail-oriented.
-
Clear communicator and collaborative team member; follows written and verbal instructions.
-
Adaptable to shifting priorities and business needs.
-
Open to overtime when required.
-
Nice to have: knowledge of Lean (5S, Kanban, Visual Management, waste elimination, root cause problem solving).
Two fixed options: 7:00am–3:00pm Monday–Friday, or 11:00pm–7:00am Sunday–Thursday. Overtime as needed.
