Job Title: CNC Programmer/Operator - Mesa, AZ
Job Purpose
Dynalectric-Arizona, a specialty contractor serving the electrical constructions needs of our community, is stepping into the manufacturing space with the purpose of fabricating select product families entirely in house. We have purchased and are setting up various pieces of CNC equipment for our shop including routers, punches, lasers, press brakes, plate rolls, welders, and automated material storage systems. We are looking for an enthusiastic, technically minded person with CNC experience and a desire to grow to join our tight-knit team and serve as our first programmer and operator, laying the foundation for our manufacturing team and operations.
