Responsibilities

1. Machine Setup and Precision Calibration

The operator is the "pilot" of the mill. They don't just turn it on; they prepare it for a specific "flight."

• Adjusting Gaps: Setting the precise distance between rollers to achieve the exact thickness or gauge required.

• Loading Material: Managing the feed rate of raw materials (ingots, billets, or grains) into the mill.

• Pre-Heating: In hot rolling, ensuring the material and the rolls are at the optimal temperature to prevent cracking or equipment damage.

2. Real-Time Monitoring and Quality Control

A roll mill is a high-pressure environment where things can change in a split second.

• Surface Inspection: Constantly checking the finished product for defects like scratches, ripples, or "alligatoring."

• Measurement: Using micrometers or automated sensors to ensure the product stays within strict tolerances (often down to microns).

• Fluid Management: Monitoring the flow of coolants and lubricants that keep the rollers from overheating or sticking.

3. Maintenance and Safety Vigilance

Because these machines involve massive force and moving parts, safety is the top priority.

• Roll Changes: Coordinating the heavy lifting required to swap out worn or damaged rollers.

• Troubleshooting: Identifying "off-sounds" or vibrations that signal a mechanical issue before a breakdown occurs.

• Clearing Jams: Safely removing "cobbles" (deformed material) using specialized tools and strict Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures.

The essential functions of this role include:

• wearing steel toe shoes
• working in a non-temperature controlled environment
• manual lifting up to 35lbs
• standing for 8 hours at one time
• working up to 10 hrs of overtime per week
