The Role

As a Finishing Shop Machine Operator, you’ll set up and operate a range of finishing equipment, including cylindrical, surface, and polishing machines. You’ll be responsible for ensuring components are finished to quality standards, inspecting parts before and after processing, and carrying out routine operator maintenance tasks. You’ll gain a thorough understanding of factors affecting coating quality and use this knowledge to consistently deliver high-quality work. You’ll also have the opportunity to train colleagues, maintain excellent housekeeping (5S), follow the “check–work–check” process, and operate safely while upholding statutory duty of care for yourself and others. Through your work, you’ll directly impact production efficiency, product quality, and customer satisfaction.
