CNC Programmer and Machinist – Take Ownership and Lead Department Growth

Join a family-owned company with over 45 years of success in manufacturing, installing, and servicing OEM overhead cranes. Founded in 1977, this company prides itself on a team-oriented culture where every employee’s input matters. The 50,000 sq. ft. facility is home to around 40 dedicated employees, many of whom have 15–20 years tenure — a testament to the supportive and stable work environment.

With commitment to delivering high-quality products, custom engineering solutions, and exceptional service, the company has invested in brand-new Doosan CNC multi-spindle lathe with live tooling over the past few years to increase in-house production. This is a low-volume, high-precision environment focused on producing large steel components.
