You’re a great fit if you have
  • Proven CNC milling experience; familiarity with Fanuc controls
  • Strong blueprint reading and GD&T application skills
  • Experience producing complex components to stringent tolerances
  • Hands-on proficiency with manual inspection equipment
What’s in it for you
  • Contract-to-hire role with long-term potential
