• Strong CAD drafting and CNC programming fundamentals.
• Ability to read blueprints, shop drawings, and construction documents.
• Strong attention to detail, organization, and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to manage multiple projects while meeting production deadlines.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications.
