Ready to Solve Complex Cylinder Challenges?

Imagine taking a damaged hydraulic cylinder from teardown to like-new performance—machining precision parts, validating your work, and handing the customer a solution that lasts. That’s the impact you’ll make as an Advanced CNC Manufacturing Technician focused on fluid power. You’ll service, repair, recondition, and assemble cylinders; run and maintain shop equipment; and ensure every interaction includes proactive parts/labor/service support. You’ll help foster a team culture built on integrity, collaboration, and accountability.

Your Mission

1. Make it right: Machine raw materials or modify existing parts per Service Manager direction; perform inspections and verify results.
2. Find the fix: Diagnose issues, propose repairs, and recommend additional work when it improves reliability.
3. Run the shop: Program, set up, and operate CNC and manual equipment safely and efficiently; keep accurate records and a spotless work area.
4. Communicate like a pro: Thank every customer, provide clear updates, and escalate parts shortages or malfunctions quickly—requesting expediting when needed.
5. Be the standard: Dress professionally; study bulletins, catalogs, and parts books to stay current; attend company meetings and customer events.
6. Protect the team: Maintain a respectful environment—don’t second‑guess a colleague’s work and don’t assign blame to the company, manufacturers, or other technicians.
7. Eliminate comebacks: Give special attention to repeat repairs; control expenses while maximizing quality output.
8. Be prepared: Provide your own organized hand-tool set; cross-train to support other departments when needed.
