Central Motor Wheel of America (CMWA) is a supplier of aluminum and steel wheels for Toyota, Lexus, Honda, Subaru, and other automobile makers.  

We are in the middle of an expansion project that will see several supervisors from Japanese equipment suppliers coming to the US to oversee equipment assembly, installation, connections, programming, and startups. As part of that, we are looking for 4 translators/interpreters to support our project. These will be contract positions lasting 5-6 months with two positions beginning in August and 2 more in September.

Ideal candidates for these positions would possess the following attributes:

• Experience translating/interpreting in a manufacturing setting
• Familiarity with manufacturing and engineering terminology
• N2 or equivalent Japanese capability
• Native English proficiency
• Strong verbal and written communication skills
• Comfortable helping parties work through communication gaps

Candidates without such experience will not be considered, as the most important quality is strong communication skills in English and Japanese.
