Why people join our team
We are a South African supplier focused on solid carbide end mills and drills for CNC machining centres, and our work is hands-on every day. That means our team deals with real production pressures, urgent tool needs, stock planning and the practical detail that matters in manufacturing. It suits people who enjoy solving problems, keeping things organised and helping customers make better decisions on tooling.
Our base in Wadeville, Germiston serves shops across Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town, Durban and Gqeberha, so the work is fast paced and varied. You will often be speaking with machine operators, workshop managers, buyers and production teams who need clear answers, not guesswork.
Roles we typically hire for
We do not keep a fixed vacancy list, because staffing needs change as order volumes and customer support needs shift. When we are hiring, it is usually for people who can contribute to sales, technical support, operations or warehouse work.
- Sales and customer support roles for order handling, enquiries and follow up
- Technical applications roles for tool selection, speed and feed advice, and troubleshooting
- Warehouse and stock control roles for picking, packing and stock accuracy
- Operations roles for coordination, purchasing support and workflow management
- Quality and procurement support roles for checking product consistency and supplier planning
What we look for in applicants
We value people who are reliable, methodical and comfortable learning about machining. Experience in tooling, CNC production, engineering supplies or industrial sales is helpful, but a strong work ethic and willingness to learn matters just as much. If you can stay calm under pressure and communicate in a straightforward way, you will fit in well.
Some roles require close attention to sizes, flute lengths, stock codes and delivery details, so accuracy counts. A practical understanding of workshop conditions, load-shedding planning, coastal humidity in storage areas and the need for fast turnaround helps too.
- Clear written and spoken communication
- Attention to detail with stock and order information
- Problem solving in a busy environment
- Respect for deadlines and customer commitments
How we work day to day
Our team works with customers who cannot afford delays. That means planning stock carefully, checking tool requirements properly and making sure the right information gets to the right people quickly. Everyone contributes to service quality, whether they are helping with quotations, checking packaging or supporting urgent tool supply.
We also work with technical detail on a regular basis, so roles here are suited to people who are comfortable asking questions and learning from experienced colleagues. A small mistake can slow down production, so we keep processes tight and practical.
Growth, training and support
New team members are supported with product knowledge, internal processes and practical guidance from experienced colleagues. Where a role involves customer interaction or technical work, we make sure people understand our tooling range, common application issues and the sort of support CNC shops expect from a dependable supplier.
There is room to grow into more specialised work over time, especially for people who take initiative and want to build knowledge in machining tools and industrial supply.
- Product and process training
- Mentoring from senior team members
- Exposure to customer applications across different industries
- Opportunity to build long term experience in the tooling sector
