Perform turning, facing, boring, threading, grooving and parting operations on steel, stainless and other alloys.
Complete first-piece and in-process inspection with micrometers, calipers, bore and thread gauges, and indicators; record results on inspection sheets.

As a worker under Ontario’s Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA), the operator must:

Follow Soluroc safe work procedures, machine guarding requirements and lockout/tagout (LOTO) before any setup, adjustment or maintenance.
Wear required PPE at all times: safety glasses, CSA safety footwear, hearing protection; no gloves, loose clothing or jewelry near rotating equipment.
Never bypass or remove guards, interlocks or e-stops.
Report hazards, near misses, injuries and equipment defects to the supervisor immediately.
Handle and lift material safely, using cranes, hoists or lift aids when required and only when trained.
Participate in safety training, JHSC initiatives and workplace inspections.

Able to work either shift and overtime as scheduled.

Preferred

Experience turning hard or abrasion-resistant materials.
Experience with large-swing or heavy-part lathe work.
Experience using overhead cranes and hoists.

Equivalent experience gained anywhere is considered; Canadian experience is not required.

Working conditions and physical demands

Manufacturing shop floor with noise, coolant mist, metal chips and moving machinery.
Standing and walking for most of an 8–10 hour shift.
Frequent lifting of parts and tooling up to 23 kg (50 lb) unaided; heavier loads with hoists or lift aids.
Repetitive hand and arm motion, bending and reaching; good near vision and hand-eye coordination for inspection.
Rotating shifts and overtime, including occasional weekends during peak demand.
