: CNC FIBER LASER METALCUTTING MACHINE OPERATORCompany: Kanha Metal Works (KMW)Employment Type: Full-time / ContractualLocation: KMW Workshop / FactoryExperience: 2–5 years preferred1. Job PurposeOperate CNC fiber laser cutting machines to cut metal sheets and plates according toapproved drawings and cutting programs, ensuring dimensional accuracy, consistentquality, safe operation, efficient material utilisation, and timely production. Coordinationwith programming, stores, fabrication, press brake, and quality teams is essential.Nesting and CAD/CAM knowledge is an advantage.2.

Key ResponsibilitiesA.

Machine

Operation and Job Preparation● Verify material grade, thickness, sheet dimensions, job specifications, drawingrevisions, and cutting programs before production.● Load and unload sheets safely using approved handling methods andequipment.● Select approved programs and verify cutting parameters, including laser power,speed, focus, nozzle, and assist-gas settings, as prescribed for the job.● Follow machine start-up, setup, test-cut, first-piece approval, operation,changeover, and shutdown procedures.● Interpret engineering drawings, dimensions, tolerances, profiles, holes, slots, andcutting instructions; clarify discrepancies before proceeding.● Monitor cutting performance, identify faults, and handle finished componentscarefully to prevent damage.B. Nesting and Material Optimisation● Verify approved nesting layouts and component arrangements against materialspecifications and production requirements.● Support efficient sheet utilisation by reducing unnecessary gaps, offcuts, andscrap while considering part spacing, cutting sequence, and component stability.● Coordinate with the nesting programmer or supervisor on layout corrections,compatible job combinations, and reusable material remnants.● Candidates with practical nesting software, CAD/CAM, or CNC programmingexperience will be preferred.C.

Quality

Control● Inspect first-cut components and obtain approval where required before batchproduction.● Check dimensions, profiles, hole positions, and edge quality using suitablemeasuring instruments.● Identify incomplete cuts, burrs, dross, heat distortion, incorrect profiles,



andsurface damage; segregate defective parts and report issues.● Make authorised parameter adjustments and verify results as instructed.● Maintain required records of production, inspections, rejections, materialremnants, and machine downtime; label and transfer completed parts safely tothe next operation.D. Maintenance and Production Coordination● Check cutting-head consumables, nozzles, protective windows, assist-gassupply, cooling, and extraction systems according to prescribed procedures.● Perform authorised routine checks and cleaning; replace consumables only whentrained and authorised.● Report machine alarms, breakdowns, material shortages, program errors, andproduction delays promptly.● Coordinate with programming, stores, production, press brake, fabrication, andquality teams to meet schedules and minimise downtime, changeovers, wastage,and rework.● Maintain machine logs and keep the equipment and surrounding work areaorganised.E. Safety and Housekeeping● Follow KMW and manufacturer safety procedures, use prescribed PPE, andmaintain required ventilation and extraction.● Never bypass guards, enclosures, interlocks, or other safety devices, or accessenclosed laser-processing areas without authorisation under approvedprocedures.● Handle heavy sheets, sharp edges, hot metal, compressed gases, and electricalsystems safely.● Follow approved lockout and hazardous-energy isolation procedures beforerelevant maintenance work.● Keep material racks and walkways explicit and report incidents, near misses,equipment defects, and unsafe conditions immediately.3.

Qualifications and Experience● ITI in Fitter, Machinist, Sheet Metal, Mechanical,



or a related trade preferred; aMechanical Diploma or relevant technical training is an advantage.● Preferably 2–5 years of hands-on CNC fiber laser cutting experience in metalfabrication or manufacturing.● Ability to interpret engineering drawings, dimensions, tolerances, and materialspecifications.● Working knowledge of CNC controls, cutting parameters, nozzle selection, assistgases, focus settings, and routine troubleshooting.● Experience with mild steel, stainless steel, aluminium, or other relevant metals;CAD/CAM and nesting software experience is an advantage.● Ability to use measuring instruments and understand work and safety instructionsin a language understood by the candidate.4.

Required

Skills● Practical CNC fiber laser operation and job setup.● Accurate drawing interpretation and dimensional inspection.● Ability to identify cutting defects and resolve routine issues within authorisedlimits.● Responsible material handling, attention to detail, and commitment to quality.● Effective coordination with production teams and focus on safety, productivity,and material efficiency.5. Wage and Employment Terms Nesting, CAD/CAM, and material-optimisation skills may support a higher wage, subjectto practical assessment. Final wages will depend on experience, cutting accuracy, setupcapability, and demonstrated technical skills.Payment will follow recorded attendance and the agreed wage cycle.

Working hours,overtime, weekly rest, leave, and statutory benefits will follow company policy andapplicable Indian labour laws.6.

Selection

Process1. Screening of relevant machine-operating experience.2. Practical assessment of setup, program selection, and material handling.3. Drawing interpretation, measurement, and cutting-quality assessment.4. Basic troubleshooting and machine-safety evaluation.5. Nesting or CAD/CAM assessment, where applicable.6. Final selection by an authorised KMW representative.7.

Performance

ExpectationsProduce components within specified tolerances, maintain consistent cutting quality,minimise scrap and rework, follow safety procedures, maintain required records, andmeet production schedules. Preference will be given to candidates who demonstratenesting skills and improve material utilisation.Work Location: In person
