Do you like making things with precision with or without the aid of a computer? Do you consider yourself to be a bit of a techie? Do you take pride in a seeing high-quality manufactured products? Perhaps you should consider a career as a Machinist!
Today’s manufacturing utilizes innovative technologies, including sophisticated Computer Numerical Control (CNC), Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) software and specialty materials to develop and build the products of tomorrow. CNC Machinist technicians design, manufacture and repair components, parts and tools from a variety of metals and other engineered materials using traditional and state-of-the-art machines. Many machinists of today can be found transferring complex mechanical engineering drawings from the computer screen to computerized machinery. |
