it kind of seems like he's looking for someone that'll be there long term, and can learn whatever he wants them to learn. he doesn't want someone who "knows what they're doing", he wants someone that's gonna do what he wants them to do, how he wants them to do it. i would basically be an investment for them, they would teach me everything and train me on all the machines with plan of me being there long term and becoming the advanced operator that knows everything.
sounds like a great opportunity.
if you like the place, roll the dice. It won't be easy (learning something from scratch), but if you're patient from both sides, this will work out for all.
Also, grab your CNC experience. From there, you can make quite a bit of money with or without this company.
