A Hub for Launching and Growing Careers in Manufacturing
Coastal Machine & Supply isn’t just another machine shop—we provide complex machining services for companies across industries, notably oil and gas, aerospace, and defense. We work on challenging projects that require precision and continuous dedication to excellence. If you’ve ever wanted to manufacture parts that go into satellites and spacecraft, including the International Space Station, then Coastal Machine & Supply is the aerospace machine shop for you.
Hands-On Mentorship from Experienced Machinists
Whether you’re just starting out in the workforce, recently finished school, or are switching careers, we can help you develop the expertise you need to become a talented and skilled machinist.
If you already have machining chops, that’s great—you’ll be able to hit the ground running. But if not, don’t worry; it’s not a dealbreaker. More than previous experience, we look for motivated and curious individuals with a positive attitude and willingness to learn.
As part of our training program, new employees work closely with experienced machinists to learn the ropes of precision machining and how to manufacture parts accurately and efficiently. From day one, you’ll have the support of experienced machinists to show you how it’s done and develop the skills to take on complex projects independently.
But even then, it’s always a team effort. With the complexity of the parts we manufacture, we’re often all learning together because our customers know that no matter the challenge, the team at Coastal Machine & Supply finds a way to get the job done.
Modern Capabilities to Develop Skills for the Advanced Manufacturing Industry
Manufacturing complex parts requires more than knowing how to run a mill or a lathe—it requires cross-functional collaboration and the desire to develop new skills. Across departments, we encourage our employees to not only hone their craft but also reach beyond their current role by learning to use the latest technology within precision machining.
Within our machine shop, we leverage large CNC turning and multi-axis machining capabilities to manufacture precision parts with accuracy and efficiency. And we’ll teach you to use complex and advanced CNC machines as you grow within the company.
Additionally, beyond machining, we want to help you develop professionally. From generating accurate quotes with Paperless Parts and managing production in ProShop to learning how to use robotics and automation to drive efficiency, we provide the opportunity to gain the skills you need to advance your career within the manufacturing industry.
A Culture of Honesty, Transparency & Open Communication
At Coastal Machine & Supply, we value honesty and transparency in everything we do. There’s no front office team or back office team—we all work together to manufacture the best precision parts for our customers. Whether discussing sales goals, digging in about a project’s challenges, or collaborating to develop more efficient processes, we keep an open mind about new ideas and always look for ways to better meet our customers’ needs.
That’s one of the many reasons our customers love working with Coastal Machine & Supply. They can feel and see our open and collaborative culture during every conversation, and they can tell that we genuinely care about what our precision machining capabilities enable companies—and people—to achieve.
