Production and Installation Technician
Front Range CNC · Simla, Colorado · Full time · 2 openings
About us
Front Range CNC builds CNC routers for cabinet shops and woodworkers across the country. We assemble, wire, test and calibrate every machine in our Simla shop, then crate it, ship it and set it up at the customer's shop. We're a small team that's growing fast, and we want people who like building real equipment with their hands.
The job
You'll build our machines from the frame up and help get them running in customer shops. No CNC experience needed. We'll teach you the machine, the controls and the install process ourselves.
What you'll do
- Assemble machines: gantries, rails, spindles, tool changers, vacuum pumps and dust collection
- Run and land wiring in control cabinets by following our drawings
- Power up, test and calibrate machines before they ship
- Crate, wrap and load machines and accessories for freight
- Travel to customer shops to install machines and train their operators
- Help customers by phone and video when they need it
- Keep the shop clean, organized and safe
Travel
Installs run about 2 to 5 days on site. Expect a couple trips a month once you're trained. We cover flights, hotel and per diem.
What we're looking for
- Mechanically handy: you've built, fixed or maintained equipment, vehicles or machinery
- Comfortable with hand and power tools, and willing to learn basic electrical
- Shows up on time, owns the work and finishes the job
- Able to lift 50 lbs and work on your feet all day
- Valid driver's license, and able to travel by air
- Good with customers, since you'll be the face of the company on installs
- A plus but not required: electrical, millwright, woodworking, automotive or military maintenance background, or Spanish
How we train you
You'll start in the shop building machines next to our team. Once you know the build, you'll wire and test. Then you'll ride along on installs before you lead them yourself.
Pay and raises
Starting pay is $20 to $24 an hour, depending on experience. You'll have clear milestones for pay advancement, and your pay goes up as you hit each one:
- 90 days: builds a machine mechanically with little help
- Wiring and testing: wires a control cabinet and runs the full test on their own
- First lead install: leads an install and trains the customer on site
- Fully trained: installs and supports customers independently
Benefits
- Paid travel, per diem and overtime
