We are just getting back in to town, surveying damage and making a plan to start the business back up after our big fire. Because of the fire, my main guy is not coming back, so I need someone to take his place.
Setup skills would be appreciated but not needed. And by setup, I'm really talking about having an eye for details and the ability to see when something isn't quite right. 99% of what we do is small vise work, so really, setup is switching jaws, loading tools and verifying the program. And of course adjusting tool / work offsets.
Whatever your skills, you will be running production. Lot sizes are small at between 100 and 500 typically, but some part numbers will really keep you hopping with short cycle times. Other parts have 30 minute cycle times. Youtube is on the touchscreen at each work station for those times.
This is a tiny shop with me and two guys in the shop. I am extremely flexible on hours, using cell phones, etc. As long as the work gets done (and I know exactly how long it should take). If any flexible shop policies are abused, however, you'll be fired so fast it'll make your head spin.
I'll train a trainable person from scratch, but would prefer somebody with at least enough experience to recognize a form tap from a cut tap from a thread mill. Also, leave your tools at home, I provide everything we need to use.
