Description:
Education: Grade 12. Red Seal Toolmaker. Responsibilities: Set and program machinery (where applicable) in preparation for production within the Second Operations section. Ensure firstâ??timeâ??right setups, stable production, and adherence to engineering targets and quality specifications. Train and support operators, including IMDS checks and standardized work. Production Setup & Operation Collect component layouts upon receipt of Production loading and verify all documentation is current. Set up and troubleshoot specialized gear cutting machinery and other second operations equipment. Set machines according to layout and component specification, ensuring firstâ??off approval before batch production. Keep setâ??up scrap to a minimum and ensure it is clearly segregated from production components. Tooling, Equipment & Maintenance Manufacture, assemble, and maintain singleâ??function tooling including press, basic milling fixtures pneumatic tooling, and purpose-built tooling. Maintain and adjust older mechanical equipmentrequiring a deep understanding of mechanical movements and behaviours under load. Perform root cause checks and corrective adjustments on machines and tooling to stabilize process capability. Conduct basic maintenance and elevate more serious maintenance issues to the Team Leader or relevant department timeously. Ensure all tools and Gear Hob sets are labelled and stored correctly; proactively request/order relevant tools or parts. Quality, Gauging & Documentation Collect all relevant gauges from the gauge room as per IMDS requirements and ensure calibration status is valid. Read, understand, and apply information from technical manuals and machine documentation. Submit firstâ??off samples to inspection and act on feedback promptly. Identify outâ??ofâ??spec trends and implement remedial actions (adjustments, tool maintenance, parameter optimization). Uphold high accuracy and consistent attention to detail throughout production runs.
