Contractors and Supervisors for Machining and Metal Forming Trades must have strong knowledge of production and metalworking, as they need to be able to supervise several types of metalworking skilled trade workers, such as machinists and tool and die makers.

They possess skills to be effective leaders and instruct workers on best practices and policy, as well as perform human resources and project management tasks. The wide scope of the machining trade supervision aids in transferability to other supervisory and management roles, though movement outside of manufacturing is limited.
