A New Perspective on Careers in Contract Manufacturing: Builders, Makers, Doers
When people explore careers in manufacturing, one of the first questions they often ask is, “What would I actually be doing?”
At Liberty Precision, we think a more meaningful question is: “Where can this career take you?”
CEO Bill Berrien has long emphasized that careers in manufacturing, especially in precision machining, are about far more than completing tasks. They’re about solving real-world problems and contributing to industries where performance and reliability matter most.
We’re Changing the Narrative Around the Trades
Manufacturing careers have historically been misunderstood. Terms like “factory” or “machine shop” often bring to mind outdated environments and repetitive work.
In reality, modern facilities like those at Liberty Precision are advanced, highly technical environments. They’re well-organized and powered by cutting-edge equipment designed to support complex machining and high-precision production. More importantly, these environments are driven by skilled individuals who apply critical thinking and creativity every day.
That’s why we describe our team as builders, makers, and doers: people who create essential components for aerospace and defense applications where precision is critical.
We Employ Machinists, Not Operators
At Liberty Precision, we don’t view our team as operators performing repetitive tasks. Our people are machinists, highly trained professionals who understand how materials behave and how to optimize complex CNC machining processes.
They make decisions and adjust processes, all with the larger purpose of continuously improving outcomes. Their expertise directly impacts quality, efficiency, and the success of every project we take on.
Skill Development Matters
Our philosophy is simple: hire for attitude, train for skill.
We look for individuals who are motivated and eager to learn, then provide them with the tools and opportunities to grow. Through hands-on experience and continuous development, our team builds capabilities in areas like:
Complex CNC machining
Programming and process optimization
Quality inspection and validation
Working with advanced automation systems
There’s no single career path at Liberty Precision. Some machinists deepen their technical specialization, while others expand into multiple disciplines. What remains constant is the opportunity to grow.
A Career at Liberty Precision Is Constantly Evolving
Precision machining is not static work. Every project introduces new variables, with different materials, tighter tolerances, and more intricate designs.
That means our machinists are constantly learning and improving.
At Liberty Precision, we support aerospace and defense programs where precision is non-negotiable. The parts we produce must meet strict requirements, and that level of responsibility makes the work both demanding and highly rewarding.
Technology Is a Tool for Growth
Advanced automation and AI play an important role in modern manufacturing, but they don’t replace people; they enhance what people can do.
At Liberty Precision, technology is used to reduce manual effort and support better decision-making. Our machinists remain at the center of every process, using these tools to deliver stronger, more consistent results.
Build a Rewarding Career in Precision Machining
At its core, precision machining is about creating tangible outcomes. The components produced at Liberty Precision support critical aerospace and defense systems, where performance and reliability are essential.
That sense of purpose is what makes this career path so meaningful. We’re not just focused on delivering parts; we’re focused on building careers for the people who make them.
If you’re looking for a path where you can grow your skills and make a real impact, a career at Liberty Precision is worth exploring. Find out more!
