CNC Machinist- 2nd Shift

Hello potential future colleague!

The original wedge-locking company that started in a red barn in Mattmar, northern Sweden, back 40 or so years ago has grown into the global industry leader in bolting and engineering solutions, at a rate such that we need more colleagues for our mission to make the world a safer place.

Most don’t devote a thought to bolts loosening – but we do. Every minute. Every hour. All day. All Year. Our promise to build connections that last goes beyond manufacturing the best bolting technologies to expert support and pioneering digital solutions.

Expander, a Business Unit of Nord-Lock Group, is seeking an experienced CNC Machinist for its operation in DeWitt for 2nd shift. We produce custom pivot solutions to customers across North and South America on a produce-to-order basis. This dynamic manufacturing environment is growing and is looking to hire collaborative co-workers who will help grow the company to a new level of production.

Relocation is not being offered for this role. Sponsorship is also not being offered for this role.

The primary objective of this position is to safely and accurately machine steel components, including axels, sleeves, washers, and fasteners, to engineering drawing specifications and required tolerances. The CNC Machinist is responsible for machine setup, programming, inspection, documentation, equipment care, and timely movement of complete orders through the production process while following the compliance with Expander Americas, Inc., safety procedures, and production requirements.

These responsibilities may include, but are not limited to, the tasks listed below.

  24 information before beginning work. Report missing or conflicting information to supervision, Engineering, or Quality before machining.
• Verify the part number, revision, quantity, planned machine, and required material information before setup and production.
• Upon completion of the order, accurately update the planned machine or next operation in NAV
  24 and place the order in the designated staging location.

Machine Setup, Programming & Operation

• Verify that the Mazatrol program matches the correct part number and review all programmed dimensions for accuracy before machining.
• Create, edit, or select the appropriate machining program to produce the part within drawing specifications and tolerances.
• Set up the Mazak machine with the correct tooling, jaws, fixtures, inserts, offsets, and work holding required for the operation.
• Use the established tooling check-out and check-in system to maintain accurate tooling inventory and accountability.
• Follow machine-specific work instructions, setup sheets, operating procedures, guarding requirements, and training guidelines.
• Monitor machine performance, tooling condition, chip control, coolant flow, and part quality throughout the production run. Stop the process and report abnormal conditions promptly.

Material Identification & Traceability

• Verify that the material and components being machined match the production order, engineering drawing, material specification, and identification requirements.
• Maintain material and part traceability throughout the machining process by keeping labels, lot numbers, and order documentation legible and associated with the correct material or parts.
