GREENVILLE, S.C. -- Jason Premo is proud of his new equipment, fine cutting tools that turn raw steel into parts for jet engines and guided rockets. Premo is CEO and co-owner of ADEX Machining in Greenville and he's ready to hire new employees.
"We're looking at even more growth in the next few years, particularly with companies like Boeing and Gulfstream that are communicating to us that they're ramping up," Premo said.
"We need more (employees). We're having to go all over the country to find people with the most advanced skills," he said.
Among the employees here is Aaron Gajda, a former restaurant worker now running a computerized cutting tool.
"I decided I needed to go back to school to make more money and, you know, my father was a machinist," he said.
Premo pointed to 4 other men on the floor who were recently unemployed. All of them now command salaries of about $50 to $60 thousand dollars with full family medical benefits.
"High tech, high skilled, and typically higher payed as well, It's definitely more technical job," said Premo.
ADEX will welcome executives from Boeing this week as they begin a new partnership as a parts supplier. The parts made here will soon fly at 30 thousand feet.
This company, like several others in the Upstate defines a new kind of manufacturing. The jobs pay more than what similar positions may have paid in the past but they also require more training and skill. Employees at ADEX may be responsible for several machines and will often be self-guided in their work. There are fewer people on the floor but each person does more.
Like Gajda, many of the employees go through training programs like the one at Greenville Tech. In fact, the school often works directly with employers like ADEX to train people for specific jobs.
Premo said those skills are critical to his operation.
"Working for a company like Boeing, it's the pinnacle of an aviation career. It's mission-critical parts.
Everything matters and there's no room for error. You can't pull a plane off to the side of the road," he said.
Because of that new relationship with Boeing, ADEX is about add more new employees. They're advertising now. Premo says to learn more about that opportunity applicants should check the company website.
