Mr. Mark Archambeault
Experience: I have had the good fortune in my 40+ years in manufacturing to be exposed to, many different facets in the manufacturing industry. My experience is broad but not limited to any single position.
I served a 5 year apprenticeship for Tool and Die making. I have worked in the capacity of Engineering Technician, held positions of supervisor, group lead and Department head responsible for 30+ employees to my lead. I have experience with running a wide range of conventional and CNC machines.
Now I have found myself in a position where I can pass on to high school students what they may need to possibly start a career in manufacturing.
Education/Credentials: I have attended CNC programming Classes for MasterCam, CamWorks as well as various on the job training for Lean MFG, Health and Safety and Trainer.
