A CNC plasma operator is responsible for setting up, operating, and maintaining a computer numerical control (CNC) plasma cutting machine to precisely cut metal parts according to blueprints and specifications, ensuring quality control by monitoring the cutting process and making adjustments as needed, while adhering to safety protocols and performing basic machine maintenance.

• Machine setup:

Loading metal sheets onto the cutting table, selecting the appropriate cutting parameters based on material thickness and desired cut quality, and setting up the CNC program with cutting paths.

• Operating the CNC plasma machine:

Monitoring the cutting process, adjusting machine settings as needed to maintain consistent cut quality, and identifying and troubleshooting any machine malfunctions.
