Your daily tasks will include reading technical drawings, working with CNC programming, and performing machining operations such as milling, turning, and grinding.

You will work with several types of tools – such as cutting, pressing, and forming tools – as well as jigs and fixtures, which requires both technical understanding and an eye for detail. The work also involves making active material choices based on function and properties, as well as assembling and fine-tuning tool components into finished units.

You have a good understanding of reading drawings and enjoy working with your hands, whether it involves manufacturing, assembling, or adjusting components. Working with precision and within tight tolerances is something you feel comfortable with – or would like to learn more about.

To thrive in this role, we see that you are responsible, structured, and have a positive attitude towards collaboration. You communicate clearly, are curious to develop, and always focus on safety and quality in what you do.

In addition to your personal qualities, we see that you have:

• A high school education in industrial technology or equivalent followed by apprenticeship or vocational training.
• Understanding of tool design, material properties, and manufacturing processes. 
• Ability to interpret technical drawings and use CAD/CAM software to create tool designs and CNC programs.
