Job Description

A day in this role

Your morning starts in the San Antonio–Austin market, coffee in hand, headed to a customer shop where a high‑precision VMC needs a quick diagnosis. By midday, you’re verifying an installation checklist at another facility, and by afternoon you’re wrapping up a preventive maintenance visit so your customer’s spindle stays humming. Most days end close to home, with only minimal nights away during the week.

Why this team

• Work hands-on with the latest CNC technology across a variety of customer facilities.
• We equip you to win: car allowance, company cell phone, laptop, and fuel covered.
• Less red tape: we streamline reports so you can focus on machines and customers.
• Strong culture of learning and growth—your career can thrive here.
