Profiling Machine Operator - Bracing Line 1st Shift

The Machine Operator sets up, operates, and maintains specialized machinery to shape metal coils into specific profiles, ensuring production quality and efficiency. Key responsibilities include installing roller dies, adjusting machine settings, monitoring for defects, performing routine preventive maintenance, and interpreting blueprints to meet strict dimensional tolerances. 

• Machine Setup & Operation: Install and align roller dies (tooling) on spindles, load steel/metal coils using cranes or forklifts, and adjust settings for thickness, speed, and shear. 

• Production Monitoring: Run the roll-forming line, ensuring continuous material feed, proper lubrication, and accurate cut-to-length functionality. 

• Quality Control: Perform first-off inspections, using calipers, micrometers, angle gauges, and tape measures to verify that finished products match blueprints and specs. 

• Maintenance & Troubleshooting: Perform daily preventive maintenance (cleaning, oiling, greasing) and troubleshoot issues like jamming, roller wear, or misalignment. 

• Safety Adherence: Strict adherence to safety protocols, including machine guarding, lockout/tagout (LOTO), and PPE usage.
