CNC operators run machining equipment where accuracy is measured in hundredths of a millimetre. Whether it's Mazak, DMG Mori or Hurco — you handle changeovers, check dimensions and keep production on pace. In Veghel you are close to food (Mars, Vanderlande), manufacturing and logistics. FlexHero places skilled workers here every day — mainly from other EU countries — with housing in the region and transport to the workplace.
