Who You Are
You are an experienced, mechanically inclined leader with proven ability to train and manage a team. You bring an in-depth ability to read, analyze, and interpret drawings and teach others to do the same. You will lead a team of CNC Programmers and Operators through technical, operational and managerial excellence. A hands-on, working manager, you are highly organized and capable of working closely with members of the Projects, Purchasing, Engineering, and Fabrication teams to schedule and deliver parts to the shop floor accurately and on-time. Previous work history in a design-led industry is desired, but comprehensive knowledge of fabrication & manufacturing processes is a must. Responsible for the CNC department’s success, you have extensive technical knowledge and troubleshooting ability. You bring a strong background in CAM, experience programming, and hands-on experience operating CNC machinery, such as 3-axis milling machines.
You are a passionate advocate for machines and the dedicated individuals who bring them to life.

You are relentless in the pursuit of accuracy and efficiency. You love the idea of joining a talented team of individuals making something new every day.
