Advanced CNC & CAM Programmer

Ensuring Chart’s Success…

“Chart’s vision is to be the global leader in the design, engineering and manufacturing of cryogenic process technologies and equipment for the Nexus of Clean™ - clean power, clean water, clean food and clean industrials, regardless of molecule.” – Jill Evanko, CEO of Chart Industries

“Cooler Together” - Chart’s principal focus is the design and fabrication of cryogenic equipment; so that’s how we got our “Cooler By Design®” tagline. Of course, we think the stuff we design and build is pretty cool too. What’s more, we’re problem solvers and strive to work together as a team, making us “Cooler Together”. With our acquisition of Howden, we’re also “Stronger Together”. Customers don’t come to Chart with an equipment specification, they come to Chart with a challenge. Chart is looking for bright, talented candidates that have a desire for a career in an exciting and evolving industry.

Chart Industries is currently seeking an Advanced CNC & CAM Programmer based in Stafford, TX.
