Position Summary
We are seeking skilled Horizontal Bandsaw Operators with 2-5 years of experience cutting metal to join our aerospace manufacturing team. In this role, you will be responsible for setting up and operating horizontal band saws to cut aerospace-grade alloys — including titanium, Inconel, and other heat resistant alloys — to precise lengths and specifications to supply our CNC lathe department. You will play a critical role in ensuring raw material is accurately prepared and ready for machining, directly supporting production quality and on-time delivery.
Key Responsibilities
* Set up and operate horizontal band saws to cut aerospace alloys including titanium, Inconel, and heat resistant alloy bar stock to specified lengths.
* Read and interpret work orders, cut lists, engineering drawings, and material specifications to determine cut dimensions, quantities, and sequencing.
* Select and install appropriate saw blades based on material type, thickness, and required finish; adjust blade speed, feed rate, and coolant flow accordingly.
* Measure and verify cut parts using precision measurement instruments (calipers, scales, squares, etc.) to ensure dimensional accuracy and conformance to specifications.
* Stage and organize cut material for delivery to CNC lathe operators, ensuring parts are properly identified, labeled, and free of burrs or sharp edges.
* Maintain accurate cut logs, work order documentation, and material traceability records in accordance with quality requirements.
* Perform routine saw maintenance including blade changes, coolant maintenance, vise and feed mechanism adjustments, and general cleanliness.
* Inspect incoming raw material for surface defects, dimensional issues, or material discrepancies; report non-conformances to the supervisor.
* Adhere to all safety protocols and personal protective equipment requirements, including proper handling of long bar stock and heavy material.
* Collaborate with CNC lathe operators, material handlers, and supervisors to prioritize cutting schedules and maintain production flow.
* Complete work orders, traveler documentation, and production reporting accurately and on time.
Required Qualifications
* 2-5 years of experience operating horizontal band saws or similar metal cutting equipment in a manufacturing environment.
* Experience cutting aerospace-grade or other hard alloys including titanium, Inconel, stainless steel, and aluminum.
* Ability to read and interpret work orders, cut lists, and basic engineering drawings or material specifications.
* Skill with precision measurement tools including calipers, scales, and squares.
* Knowledge of blade selection, speeds/feeds, and coolant application for various aerospace alloys.
* Strong attention to detail and commitment to accuracy with a zero-defect mindset.
* Ability to lift up to 50 lbs and stand for extended periods; comfortable handling long bar stock and heavy raw material.
Preferred Qualifications
* Experience in an ISO9001 or AS9100 certified manufacturing facility.
* Familiarity with material traceability requirements and aerospace raw material documentation (mill certifications, certs of conformance).
* Experience with semi-automatic or CNC-controlled band saw equipment.
* Vocational training, apprenticeship, or coursework in manufacturing, machining technology, or a related field.
* NIMS (National Institute for Metalworking Skills) certification is a plus.
Work Environment & Physical Requirements
* Manufacturing floor environment; exposure to machine noise, coolant fluids, metal chips, and varying temperatures.
* Regular use of PPE including safety glasses, steel-toed boots, hearing protection, and cut-resistant gloves.
* Must be able to stand, walk, bend, and lift throughout the shift; frequent handling of bar stock and raw material up to 50 lbs.
What We Offer
* Competitive hourly wage of $20-$28/hr (Day Shift), with shift differential pay for Night Shift ($23.00-$31.00/hr), commensurate with experience.
* Profit Sharing.
* Health insurance reimbursement.
* Paid time off, holidays, and sick leave.
* Tuition reimbursement and support for professional certifications.
* Stable, long-term employment in a growing aerospace and defense sector.
* Collaborative team environment with opportunities for advancement into CNC operator, machinist, or lead roles.
* Weekend shift hours great for students.
