Job Description

About Us

We’re a family-oriented aerospace machine shop in Langley, BC, producing high-precision components for the aerospace industry. Our team values craftsmanship, reliability, and taking pride in a job "done right, on time, the first time".

We’re looking for a CNC Programmer/Machinist who’s confident programming with Mastercam, setting up, and proving out parts on both vertical CNC machines with rotary tables and horizontal machining centers, including cell systems.

Flexibility and teamwork are key in our shop. We offer flexible work hours to the right individual, but we also need someone who can adapt to changing priorities and communicate clearly to keep production running smoothly. The right applicant will take a leadership position in advancing our overall company competency and offer insight on how things could be made better.
