Charlotte, NC | Skilled Trades Services
If you’ve got real time behind a laser—this is where you want to be.
We’re not looking for entry-level.
We’re looking for operators who know the machines, know the materials, and take pride in precision work.
THE ROLE
You’ll be running high-performance laser cutting equipment producing tight-tolerance, high-quality parts in a fast-paced shop environment.
Tube Laser experience? That’s a BIG win.
Plasma or Waterjet background? We like that too.

- Dial in cutting parameters (speed, power, gas flow) like a pro
- Read blueprints and execute with precision
- Monitor production and adjust for quality + efficiency
- Perform basic maintenance + troubleshoot issues
- Inspect parts to ensure tight tolerances are met
- Keep your station clean, safe, and production-ready
WHAT YOU BRING TO THE TABLE

WHY THIS ROLE STANDS OUT
- Work with top-tier equipment
- Be part of a team that respects skilled operators
- Steady work with real opportunity
