• You will produce steel material / plate / section quantity estimates (Material Take Off, MTO) for estimating new projects, to aid the estimating department.
• You will use the CNC nesting program to produce production cutting nests of project parts, by plate thickness for both CNC plasma and oxy-fuel cutting beds.
• You will review profile DXF files against drawings to ensure all cutting data is accurate including weld preps.
• You will amend profile DXF data where required to build in shrinkage allowances through design reviews with Projects, Production and Quality.
• Considering stock control, traceability and audit purposes, you will record all steel plate details using Excel spreadsheets and nesting sheets.
• Working with Project teams you will determine cutting priorities.
