YOU’RE GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF BIG, NEW TOYS

Picture a workshop with all the cutting, drilling, boring and grinding, machines you can imagine. And not just regular machines, the biggest, baddest machines out there, to get any job done!

It’s your job as a Machine Setter / Operator to make sure all these machines are set up correctly for the jobs that are coming in and out of the plant, and operating correctly once the jobs get going. Day to day you might set up a wide variety of machines with a range of different tools, run the machines to make sure they’re working properly, and observe different machines in operation, while checking the products coming out of them, to ensure the production floor runs smoothly.
