Job summary

ARMI seeks an experienced CNC Plasma Machinist to operate a 5-axis plasma pipe cutter at active jobsites. You will manage programming, setup, and runtimes across multiple plasma machines, ensuring weld prep and isometric drawings are executed accurately.

• 2+ years running CNC cutting equipment or strong pipe fabrication experience
