  • Perform machine maintenance when required.
  • Maintain a safe working environment.
  • Keep the work area, tools, and equipment clean and orderly.
  • Ability to multi-task.
  • Strong interpersonal, written, and verbal communication skills.
  • Be Drug-Free.

CNC Router Operators will work in a team environment. You will work closely with your team members to effectively ensure the client gets the best overall quality possible. Willingness to communicate with other team members, share knowledge, ask questions, and be open to new ideas/practices creates the work environment we desire.
Benefits available after 60 days:
  • UPMC Gold Package Health Coverage (low deductible).
  • Highmark Vision Insurance.
  • Guardian Dental Insurance.
