* Maintain a clean, organized cell environment and perform routine machine maintenance.
What We Are Looking For
* Solid background as a CNC Miller, with strong setting and operating experience. Program-editing or programming capability is highly desirable.

* A reliable, self-motivated individual who enjoys technical problem-solving and works well within a collaborative team.
What’s on Offer?
