CNC Technician

The CNC Technician reports directly to the Shift Leader and operates under the supervision of the Production Supervisor and guidance from the CNC Engineer or CNC Programmer. This role is part of the core production team responsible for executing precision machining tasks to meet daily output and quality targets.

While the CNC Technician does not hold direct supervisory responsibilities, the role requires close coordination with cross-functional teams including Quality Assurance, Maintenance, and Logistics to ensure smooth and efficient machining operations.

The CNC Technician contributes significantly to the performance of the Manufacturing Department by:

• Delivering high-precision machined components in accordance with engineering specifications.
• Maintaining safety, quality, and process compliance standards.
• Supporting continuous improvement initiatives such as 5S, kaizen, and lean manufacturing.
• Ensuring proper documentation and traceability of machined parts.

ROLE DIMENSIONS:

The CNC Technician plays a hands-on and technically skilled role in executing precision machining operations using CNC equipment. This includes setting up machines, interpreting engineering drawings, selecting appropriate tooling, and performing accurate machining processes to meet stringent quality and dimensional standards.

Working under the supervision of the Shift Leader and Production Supervisor, the CNC Technician contributes directly to daily production output, product quality, and operational efficiency. The role demands a high level of attention to detail, process discipline, and technical proficiency in CNC operations.

Key contributions include:

• Achieving consistent productivity while meeting takt time and cycle time requirements.
• Ensuring compliance with safety, quality, and process standards.
• Supporting continuous improvement initiatives such as 5S, kaizen, and lean manufacturing.
• Collaborating with cross-functional teams including Engineering, Quality Assurance, Maintenance, and Logistics.
• Maintaining accurate documentation for traceability, quality audits, and process control.
