CNC Operator
Life in the Control Room
CNC Operator
Training Time: 3-12 months
Stage managers know all too well that “the show must go on” – no matter what happens. They’re the ones pulling the strings. The ones who are always two steps ahead. The quick-thinking, dependable, behind-the-scenes heroes who keep the production running until the curtain closes. Like a stage manager, a Computer Numerical Control (CNC) Operator takes control and runs the show. Trained to operate critical machines and routers, CNC operators use programming inputs to adjust and manipulate the mechanization of automated machines. If you have a natural inclination towards computers and machinery and a strong attention to detail, a career in CNC operation may be the right fit for you. Upstate SC technical colleges offer CNC machinist training programs to help you get started on your path to success.
