Machine Operator Jobs in Atlanta, GA

A Machine Operator in the manufacturing industry is responsible for setting up, operating, and maintaining complex machinery. Their tasks often include checking equipment for proper functioning, performing basic maintenance, ensuring the quality of production outputs, and troubleshooting machines if they break down or malfunction. They also report any issues to the supervisors and work closely with other team members to meet production goals. They may also be tasked with reading blueprints, sketches, or machine parts to determine machining operations.
