Job Summary
We are seeking a skilled and motivated Machine Operator with specialized experience in In-Situ machining. The ideal candidate will be proficient in operating conventional and CNC boring and lathe machines in a workshop setting, as well as performing precision machining operations directly on large-scale equipment at client sites. This role is critical for performing repairs, maintenance, and modifications with minimal downtime for our clients.
Key Responsibilities
1. Workshop-Based Machining:

• Set up, operate, and maintain conventional and CNC boring machines and lathe machines as per engineering drawings and specifications.
• Interpret technical drawings, geometric dimensions, and tolerances (GD&T).
• Select appropriate cutting tools, attachments, accessories, and materials for each job.
• Perform precision machining operations including turning, boring, facing, threading, and milling.
• Conduct first-off and in-process inspections using precision measuring instruments (e.g., micrometers, verniers, dial indicators, bore gauges).
• Ensure all work meets quality standards and specifications.

2. On-Site (In-Situ) Machining:

• Travel to client sites to perform on-site machining operations, primarily line boring, flange facing, and milling on large, immovable components.
• Set up and secure portable machining tools (e.g., line boring machines, flange facers) on-site in often challenging environments.
• Work collaboratively with client representatives and other trades to plan and execute jobs safely and efficiently.
• Troubleshoot and problem-solve machining issues in the field.

3. Safety and Maintenance:

• Adhere to all company safety policies and procedures at all times, both in the workshop and on-site.
• Participate in Job Safety Analysis (JSA) and risk assessments before commencing work.
• Maintain a clean, safe, and organized work area (5S principles).

4. General Duties:

• Complete necessary job documentation, including work orders, inspection reports, and time sheets.
• Communicate effectively with supervisors, engineers, and team members regarding job progress and any issues encountered.
• Continuously seek to improve processes and efficiency.

Qualifications and Experience
Essential:

• Education: Diploma in Mechanical Engineering or ITI (Industrial Training Institute) Certificate in Mechanical Trade (Fitter, Machinist, or Turner).
• Experience: A minimum of 3+ years of hands-on experience in a similar role, operating boring and lathe machines.
• Technical Skills:
• Proven experience with in-situ machining techniques, specifically line boring and flange facing.
• Strong proficiency in operating both conventional and CNC machine tools.
• Ability to read and interpret complex engineering drawings.
• Competence in using precision measuring instruments.
• Personal Attributes: Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, commitment to quality, and a strong safety mindset.

Desirable:

• Experience in industries such as heavy engineering, power plants, shipbuilding, or oil & gas.
• Knowledge of CNC programming (G-code/M-code) is a significant advantage.
• Valid driver's license.

Working Conditions

• Workshop: The role involves working in a manufacturing environment with exposure to noise, coolants, and metal chips. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is mandatory.
• On-Site: The role requires frequent travel to client sites, which may involve working at heights, in confined spaces, and in various weather conditions. Overtime and off-hours work may be required to meet project deadlines.

What We Offer

• A competitive salary and benefits package.
• Opportunities for overtime and travel allowances for on-site work.
• Continuous training and skill development opportunities.
• A stable and supportive work environment with a focus on safety and quality.
