Production Technician
Company Overview Our company is building a world-class advanced manufacturing facility producing aerospace-grade metal powders and ingots for critical applications. As part of a major greenfield investment this site will rely on highly automated equipment disciplined operating standards and a strong safety culture to support production readiness and long-term operational excellence.
Position Summary The Production Technician operates and monitors highly automated manufacturing equipment including Vacuum Induction Melt (VIM) furnaces and automated finishing cells to produce high-quality metal powders and ingots. This role follows established standard operating procedures (SOPs) safety protocols and quality systems while working closely with cross-functional teams to meet daily production yield and delivery targets. Safety attention to detail and teamwork are critical to success in this position.
Key Responsibilities Follow all safety rules wear required PPE maintain housekeeping standards and actively identify safety improvement opportunities. Operate production equipment in accordance with written SOPs and supervisory instructions under aerospace quality requirements. Support melting operations by preparing raw materials staging tools and assisting with equipment setup and shutdown. Monitor process indicators and escalate abnormalities or deviations to leadership. Perform mold preparation post-run cleanup and basic inspections under supervision. Operate finishing and post-processing equipment such as sieves blenders abrasive saws and grinders. Handle label and package materials according to work instructions and quality standards. Perform basic visual inspections and assist with quality sampling activities. Accurately complete production records checklists and electronic system entries. Participate in shift handoffs training activities and continuous improvement efforts.
Required Qualifications Strong safety-first mindset and willingness to work in required PPE (respirators heat-resistant gear FR garments etc.). High school diploma or equivalent. Ability to read and follow SOPs work instructions and production documentation. Basic computer skills for MES/ERP entries barcode scanning and electronic logs. Strong attention to detail and ability to work in high-temperature and industrial environments. Willingness to work rotating shifts weekends and overtime as required.
Preferred Qualifications 2 years of experience in metal manufacturing or a related industrial environment. Experience with induction melting or post-processing equipment. Familiarity with powder handling sieving and particle size classification. General knowledge of aerospace quality systems such as AS9100. Forklift certification overhead crane operation rigging skills or exposure to production robotics.
Physical & Work Environment Requirements Ability to stand and walk for extended periods and lift up to 50 lbs. Work near high-temperature equipment molten metal rotating machinery noise and fine particulates (with controls). Comfortable working in hot noisy or potentially hazardous environments while wearing PPE.
