What Will Put You Ahead

• Experience programming and operating CNC lathes and mills, including use of computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software.
• Experience inspecting and repairing medium-to-large rotating equipment casings, shafts, and related parts, including line boring, milling split lines, drilling, and tapping.
• Experience with field machining of heads, flanges, and equipment bases.
• Experience using 3D parts scanning, precision inspection, or CAD tools for drawing development.
• Experience with a workflow, work-order, or computerized maintenance management system (CMMS), such as SAP or LeanKit.
• Experience working in a team-based maintenance environment.
