Company Information Precision Castparts Corp. (LPC) is the market leader in manufacturing large, complex structural investment castings, airfoil castings, forged components, aerostructures and highly engineered, critical fasteners for aerospace applications. With more than 120 operations and approximately 20,000 employees worldwide, LPC is a high‑quality, low‑cost on‑time producer of mold castings and forged components for aerospace and industrial markets. In 2016, Berkshire Hathaway acquired Precision Castparts Corp.
Job Description Mission To separate gating systems from castings using rods or torches within close tolerances to reduce grinding time and other potential rework. To prepare castings for saws and other cleaning operations by separating gating systems without damaging castings.
Principal Accountabilities 1. Gating Removal Objective:
Apply developed skill, understanding, mastery of equipment and dimensional requirements to remove gating system metals from castings achieving close tolerances within one‑eight inch or less of finished part dimensions. Finished work products generally exceed tech card standards for cleaning operations.
Essential Job Functions:
Verifies correct lot numbers and serialization; reviews Technique Cards.
Operates air carbon arc torch in burnout booth to cut and separate gating systems from parts cuts as close to the part as practical without damaging castings.
Cleans shell material from around gatings using pneumatic tools.
Mixes protective coating; coats castings for protection.
Cuts off, cleans, documents and verifies test bars for proper identification and routing.
After removal, sorts gating by metal alloy for revert processing.
Removes gating and test bars using abrasive saws.
Section cuts castings and gatings for evaluating by engineering as needed.
2. Maintenance Objective:
Maintain burnoff equipment in proper working order.
Essential Job Functions:
Performs minor maintenance on equipment, including torches, hand tools, stingers, and gas lines.
Contacts maintenance or advises supervisor of need for other equipment repairs/maintenance.
3. Training, Interaction and Documentation Objective:
Participate in the assessment of burnoff skills of new operators and provide training necessary to achieve tech card standards. Communicate, share information, accept criticism and input from grinders and others and document work when necessary.
Essential Job Functions:
Accepts assignment of new burnoff operator(s) for training. Provides training necessary to develop required job skills.
Provides feedback to supervision regarding progress of individual trainees and assessments of observed performance upon request.
Communicates with supervisory and/or grinding personnel regarding tolerances achieved on parts, amount of grinding necessary or additional burnoff possible on specific areas of parts.
Works with others including supervision, engineers, grinding, etc. to develop techniques for improving tolerances achieved and establish precision tolerances attainable on new or modified parts.
4. Safety Essential Job Functions:
Adheres to plant and department safety rules.
Safely operates all equipment and tools.
Identifies and reports safety problems.
Participates in safety audits.
May perform limited hazardous waste management including labeling, closing, and transferring hazardous waste generated in the cleaning department to the facility's hazardous waste storage location and completing weekly inspections. May be required to work with hazardous waste.
NOTE: For job positions that require respiratory protection (more than a filtering facepiece – dust mask), the employee will be required to use an NIOSH‑approved respirator as per Oregon OSHA standards. Facial hair or items interfering with respirator seal are not permitted.
5. Meets all production and quality standards. 6. Completes logs and records. Other Accountabilities Performs other tasks as directed.
