Yang Machine Operator

High-Volume Metal Production SpecialistMost manufacturing jobs are either slow-paced prototyping or low-skill "button pushing." This role is the middle ground where true skill is tested. We are representing a premier Clearwater-area manufacturer that specializes in high-volume metal production where tight tolerances are required.We aren't just looking for an operator; we are looking for a specialist who understands how metal behaves under the thermal stress of high-volume runs. You are the "first line of defense" for quality, tasked with maintaining a zero-defect mindset across a full production shift.

Training will be on first shift and will transition to the 3rd shift.Primary Responsibilities:Consistently produce precision metal components, hitting rigorous production quotas while maintaining tolerances.Perform real-time inspections using micrometers, calipers, and go/no-go gauges to ensure every part remains within the "allowable zone."Manage the operation of Yang or Index platforms at maximum efficiency. You must have the "machinist's ear"—identifying changes in machine sound or part finish before they become failures.Navigate and interpret complex technical drawings and GD&T symbols to ensure every part meets the "as-designed" specifications.Monitor tool wear and perform necessary offset adjustments to compensate for material variances during high-speed runs.Required Skills & Qualifications:1-3+ years of experience in a high-volume CNC metal manufacturing environment.Expert ability to read and interpret precision instruments (micrometers/calipers) is a non-negotiable baseline requirement.Previous experience with Yang lathes or Index multi-spindle CNC machines is highly preferred.This is a high-velocity shop. We reward professionals who take pride in their uptime and are willing to put in the effort to hit critical production goals.Exceptional attention to detail and the ability to collaborate effectively with the Quality Assurance team.Requirements:High school diploma or equivalent.Ability to pass a pre-employment background check and drug screen.Compensation / Pay Rate (Up to): $19.00 - $20.00
