Machine Operator Jobs in Turners Falls, MA

A Machine Operator in the manufacturing industry is responsible for setting up, operating, and maintaining complex machinery.

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.
