  • Capability to both generate CAM and operate CNC machine centers.
  • Willingness to learn and develop skills to operate new types of advanced CNC equipment.
  • Proactive in facilitating automation and adopting innovative approaches to problem-solving.
  • Ability to work independently, managing time and priorities effectively.
  • Outcome-focused with a commitment to quality and timely delivery.
  • Dedication to ongoing skills development.
  • Strong and effective communication skills.

Application Requirements:
