Fabrication Tech II

Hyspan Precision Products•Cookeville, TN

About The Position

Must have a solid understanding of safety, basic math, basic metal fabrication mechanics, computer interfaces, measurement tools, proper hand and power tool usage, and blueprint reading skills. With adequate guidance and training, the Fab Operator will develop competence in shearing, roll bending, roll planishing, sanding, grinding, basic machine operation, trimming, and forklift operation. The Fab Operator must also learn to meet production standards, navigate FlexNet, and effectively use Epicor. Performance must meet expectations for safety and earned hours. With minimal guidance and training, the team member will safely perform high-quality operations and accurate setups on shearing, roll bending, roll planishing, bellows mechanical punch forming, bellows hydroforming, convolution re-rolling, trimming, and bellows press sizing, Must meet all Fab Operator I requirements. The team member may also, with guidance and training, safely set up and operate seam welders on materials 0.010” thick or greater. The team member must regularly perform accurate measurements using appropriate measurement tools and meet expectations for safety, scrap reduction, and earned hours. The team member must meet one or more of the following qualifications: independently and regularly perform high-quality operations and accurate setups for shearing, roll bending, roll planishing, bellows mechanical punch forming, bellows hydroforming, convolution re-rolling, trimming, and bellows press sizing, and be capable of training others on all forming equipment; and/or independently perform filler rod welding (WI-HOS, OD-9, free-hand) to specification; and/or independently set up and seam weld material thicknesses 0.010” and greater, or, with guidance and training, set up and seam weld material thicknesses 0.006” and less and complete fusion welds using a lathe or weld positioner. The team member consistently ensures materials and jobs are staged for the next one to two operations and often identifies solutions that result in measurable improvements, including reduced inspection time, faster cycle time, reduced setup time, reduced scrap, reduced downtime, and less rework. Performance must regulary exceed expectations for safety, scrap reduction, and earned hours. The team member must independently set up and seam weld material thicknesses of 0.006” or less on stainless steel and Inconel, and independently complete fusion assembly welds using a lathe or weld positioner, while being capable of training others on all seam welding equipment. Alternatively, with guidance, the team member must be able to size, fit up, and weld multiple formed bellows assemblies using filler wire. The individual consistantly ensures materials and jobs are staged for the next one or two operations and consistently identifies solutions that lead to measurable improvements, such as reduced inspection time, faster cycle time, reduced setup time, reduced scrap, reduced downtime, and less rework. Performance consistently exceeds expectations for safety, earned hours, setup efficiency, and scrap reduction on repeating work using previously listed equipment.
