Milwaukee Tool joins college to offer heavy-duty recruitment day at UWM

Twelve Milwaukee Tool employees—all CEAS alumni—and a human resource rep—an alumna from Lubar School of Business—were on the EMS plaza Sept. 21 to help engineering and computer science students learn the wide variety of employment opportunities available at Milwaukee Tool.

Traditionally, the power tool industry has hired mechanical engineers to design mechanisms and deliver the end product, said Andy Davis (BS 2004, Electrical Engineering) group manager, platform IOT at Milwaukee Tool. “Today’s event is meant to show how our mechanical engineers work on teams with electrical engineers, computer engineers, and computer science majors to design and deliver modern cordless power tools.”

The event was arranged by Davis and Juli Pickering, career development manager for the college.
