Large and heavy unique parts machining experience is a definite plus. This is a qualified ASME Section VIII machine shop. Work normally consists of 4 ten-hour days (Monday-Thursday, 6:00 AM to 4:30 PM) within an air-conditioned building near I-95 in Hanover County, just north of metro-Richmond, Virginia.

ABOUT THE COMPANY: West Engineering is an engineering design and full-service machining job shop. The company is focused on the custom design, development, fabrication of unique machine-tooling-components, and the turn-key manufacture of heavy duty, mass-production process industrial machines. This includes large parts, small components, prototypes, etc., mostly "one-of-a-kind" for industrial companies, government contractors, and similar heavy-duty manufacturing equipment and machine users. The company is not a sheet metal or mass production consumer products manufacturer. It has 3 bays, 10-ton and 5-ton overhead bridge cranes, heavy-duty quality assurance equipment, and is a qualified ASME Section VIII machine shop.
Our 33-member team works in a fully air-conditioned, 62,000 square foot, high-bay facility with a full array of CNC and precision machining, fabricating, assembly, quality control and finishing resources. We continue the quality, integrity and value traditions set in 1919 by our founder, Edward West, Sr., and the company is still led daily by the West family.
