Machine Operator

JGM is looking for several experienced Machine Operators to run production equipment in our Coatesville steel fabrication shop.

Press brake, industrial saw, fabrication, machine shop, metal stamping, or other production/line facility experience is highly preferred.

Candidates from manufacturing, packaging, automotive, sheet metal, plastics, or any high-volume production environment are also encouraged to apply, even without steel fabrication experience specifically.

Must be comfortable working in a non-climate-controlled shop (hot in summer, cold in winter).

• Machine Operation: Set up, operate, and monitor production machinery (CNC equipment, press brakes, saws, punches, shears, plasma/laser cutters, or similar) to fabricate steel components to spec.
• Quality Checks: Inspect parts against drawings and tolerances throughout the run, catching defects early and adjusting the machine as needed.
• Material Handling: Load, unload, and stage raw steel and finished components safely, using overhead cranes, forklifts, or hand-moving equipment as required.
• Preventive Maintenance: Perform routine cleaning, lubrication, and basic maintenance on assigned equipment, and flag mechanical issues before they cause downtime.
• Safety Compliance: Follow all JGM and OSHA safety protocols, wear required PPE and work safely in a non-climate-controlled shop environment.
• Production Pace: Keep up with production schedules and takt time on the line, communicating with leads or supervisors when a job is running behind.
• Documentation: Complete production logs, quality checks, and downtime/scrap tracking accurately and on time.
• Teamwork: Work closely with fellow operators, fitters, welders, and shop leadership to keep the line running smoothly and safely.
