We are located in Concord yet most of the service would be performed within the greater Bay Area, Sacramento and the Central Valley.

This includes a lot of driving and the occasional need to fly to work sites or training schools. We supply the work vehicle and all of the necessary tools.

Will need to have basic machining skills such as tapping, drilling, grinding, filing, etc. We also have a full CNC machine shop and often recondition worn or damaged parts removed from customer's machines, so more advanced machining skills such as milling, turning, precision measurement and the like are very beneficial.
