• Reading and understanding basic G-code and machine programs.
  

• Monitoring production and conducting dimensional and quality checks.
  

• Maintaining tight tolerances and high levels of accuracy.
  

• Troubleshooting machining and setup issues to minimise downtime.
  

• Making setup adjustments to maintain consistent production quality.
  

• Supporting continuous improvement within the machining environment.
