Why Pinewood

• Be the specialist. Own the toughest grinding in the shop: the flatness, parallelism and finish others can’t hold. The team counts on you to get it right.

• Master the craft. Already a master, or ready to become one within 1–2 years, in a toolroom where precision grinding is a core craft.

• Every part a new challenge. One-offs, prototypes and short runs for automotive, medical device, aerospace, industrial automation and engineered products. Tolerances to .0001″.

• Shape the journey. Your ideas turn into action in days. Help decide where Pinewood goes next, and where your career goes with it.

• Flexible hours built around you. Do your best work and live your best life.

• Solid blueprint reading and GD&T

• Pride in your craft and the drive to keep raising the bar
