Melben is hiring a Fiber Laser Operator in Dayton, Ohio. This is a direct-hire, full-time production role on the employer's payroll, with one opening. The pay is $27 to $34 per hour, depending on experience. The employer is flexible on the start date, and the team is looking to fill the role soon.

The operator runs a fiber laser cutting machine that cuts sheet and plate metal. The work includes loading material, running cut programs, and making edits at the laser control when a job needs adjusting. Programs are written offline, so the operator needs to be comfortable reading and changing them at the machine. The shop cuts a range of metals, including steel, stainless, aluminum, and titanium.

This role suits someone who has already run a fiber laser and can start producing good parts without a training period. Job shop experience is a plus. The shift runs first shift, about 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM. Interested candidates should apply through Melben, and the hiring manager will move quickly on a good fit.

Responsibilities

  • Run a fiber laser cutting machine on sheet and plate metal
  • Load and unload material and set up jobs for the shift
  • Edit cut programs at the laser control
  • Check parts against the job drawing and tolerances
  • Keep the machine and work area clean and safe

Requirements

  • Prior hands-on fiber laser operating experience, able to run the machine with no training
  • Experience cutting steel, stainless, aluminum, and titanium
  • Dated hands-on time running a fiber or CO2 laser cutting machine on sheet or plate metal
  • Able to edit programs at the machine control

Benefits

  • Health, dental, and vision coverage
  • 401(k) retirement plan
  • Paid vacation and holidays
  • Overtime available

Direct hire means you go on the employer's payroll from day one. Melben is the recruiter, not the employer, and our fee is paid by the company. We verify your certifications with documented proof before we submit you, so the employer does not have to question them in the interview.
