CNC Machinist - New Zealand

ABOUT KELFORD CAMS

Since 1968, Kelford Cams has built an enviable global reputation for producing superior quality racing camshafts for the high-performance automotive aftermarket industry. As a New Zealand company, we are privately owned and remain true to our roots — giving our customers the power to win by designing and manufacturing superior cams and valve train components that produce winning results all from our manufacturing facility in Woolston, Christchurch.

We pride ourselves on high levels of knowledge and service, and our ability to solve problems that others give up on. With significant investment in new equipment, US and UK warehouse facilities, and new products driving growth, we are excited to expand our team.

POSITION SUMMARY

You will need to be reliable, able to work to time constraints, accurate, and — perhaps most importantly — approachable and enthusiastic. We have a positive culture at Kelford Cams which we are proud to maintain.
