CNC Plasma / Burn Table Operator - Night Shift

Job Title

CNC Burn Table Operator

Location

Riverside, Missouri

Employment Type

Full-Time

Salary

$24.00 – $28.00 / hour + 5% night premium

Job Description

We cut the steel that becomes destroyers, aircraft carriers, and submarines. We need someone on nights to run our CNC burn table. If you have run one before, awesome, come talk to us. If you have not, but you are good with computers, can read a drawing, and have some CAD or CNC background, we will teach you the rest. We would rather train a sharp, hard-working technical person than wait around for a unicorn.

Why You Would Want This Job

5% night premium on top of base pay. You will out-earn day shift doing the same work.

4 10s, Mon–Thu / with opportunity for Over Time. The schedule does not rotate. You will know your days off a year in advance.

We actually train. 4 weeks of structured, paid on-shift training alongside our day-shift lead before you run the table solo.

The work is real. Intercon has been building heavy equipment in Riverside since 1960. Our ATB couplers hold ocean-going tug-and-barge units together in open water and account for half of all US fuel movement by ocean. Our propulsion equipment supports U.S. Navy destroyers, aircraft carriers and submarines. The plate you cut tonight ends up on a ship.

Stability. Nearly 70 years in business, approximately 125 people, and a huge backlog in marine and defense.

Overtime is available if you want it — and it is not mandatory if you do not.

Full benefits: health, dental, and vision insurance; 401(k) with employer contribution; healthcare FSA; supplemental coverage through Aflac; and paid time off

75% Boot allowance / $100 prescription safety glass allowance / no personal tools needed

What You Will Actually Be Doing

Setting up and running our CNC plasma and oxyfuel burn tables. In practice, that means:

Loading plate onto the table and confirming you have the right material and thickness

Pulling up the nest, setting your cut parameters, and running a test piece

Reading the drawing so you know what "right" looks like before you cut it

Watching the cut and adjusting on the fly — bevel, dross, speed, consumables

Checking finished parts against the print, then marking and staging them for the next operation

Daily machine checks and upkeep so the table is ready for the next shift

You will be part of a night crew of 20. You will not be by yourself in the building.
