Die Assembly II

JOB SUMMARY (the purpose and general nature of the job):

Assemble precision metal forming die sets, interface with internal and external customers, and recommend machine design and improvements to engineering. Work closely with die set machining vendors to ensure quality standards and on time delivery.

PRINCIPLE ACCOUNTABILITIES include the following:

Die Set Assembly: Assemble capital equipment consisting of high precision metal forming die sets with tolerances of +/- .0005". Die set assembly requires advanced knowledge of pipe fitting, pneumatics, hydraulics, fabrication, tool & die design, and metal forming characteristics.

Requires meeting management deadlines and performance expectations. The mechanical assembler is required to operate mobile equipment in a safe manner. Problem solving skills are required in die set tooling interaction to achieve product specifications.

Failure to have this skill will result in not meeting deadlines. Work closely with customers' representative for customer sign-off on new and rebuild die sets.
