Karl Oram has joined the Open Mind UK team after spending 25 years as a CADCAM specialist in Canada. He will act as application engineer where his experience will be applied to conducting demonstrations, on-site support and training for end-users.
Open Mind has also employed 21-year-old Cory Jamieson as a junior application engineer. During a mechanical engineering apprenticeship at Hydrafeed, he has spent the last four years learning his trade on Hurco and Mazak machine tools as well as attending college to obtain BTEC, NVC and HNC qualifications.
Joshua Harper also joins as an application engineer. He has spent several years at high profile subcontract machine shops prior to plying his trade at the Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC).
Says Open Mind Technologies UK managing director Adrian Smith: "In 2016 our enquiry and sales levels broke all previous records. To underpin this continual growth, we have a strategy in place to employ more sales engineers and application engineers.
“It is the applications engineers that will support new customers beyond the post-sales process with assistance for all customer technical queries. Our new application engineers will enhance customer experience and service whilst supporting the sales engineers. The astounding levels of growth are the result of developments to our leading hyperMILL CAM package and the enhancements within the system that are the clear benchmark of the industry."
