Job description
Step into a day shaping precision sheet metal

You arrive ready to turn flat stock into accurate panels and enclosures. After reviewing job folders and blueprints, you set up a shear, a manual press brake, and a CNC press brake. You retrieve programs, select and install the right tooling, and dial in bends—simple to complex—on light-gauge material. Throughout the shift, you move efficiently from short runs to longer production, editing programs as needed to keep quality high and throughput strong.

Shifts and schedule
  • 1st shift: 7:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.
  • 2nd shift: 3:30 p.m. – 12:00 a.m.
  • 3rd shift: 11:00 p.m. – 7:00 a.m.
  • Monday–Friday with overtime opportunities
What you'll do
  • Produce sheet metal parts by setting up and operating CNC and manual press brakes, plus a shear.
  • Handle full machine setup: retrieve programs, configure tooling, and verify bend sequences.
  • Create and edit CNC press brake programs for light-gauge forming with simple and complex bends.
  • Run multiple setups per shift for prototypes, small batches, and production quantities.
  • Maximize output while maintaining accuracy and repeatability.
  • Read and interpret shop drawings, layouts, blueprints, job folders, rough sketches, and customer samples.
  • Verify work using precision tools (e.g., calipers) and compare against prints.
Keep operations running smoothly
  • Perform routine maintenance and keep machines and work area clean.
  • Partner with maintenance/repair technicians to troubleshoot equipment when needed.
  • Read material tags and work orders to select correct materials.
  • Move raw materials and parts using a pallet jack or forklift.
  • Count and record daily production activity.
  • Collaborate with engineering personnel and fellow operators in a fast-paced setting.
  • Follow all safety rules and maintain a clean, organized work environment.
What you bring
  • Proven experience in a sheet metal job shop or contract manufacturer (required).
  • Deep knowledge of press brake tooling: selecting, changing, and maintaining.
  • Strong decision-making skills and consistent, excellent attendance.
  • Ability to stand, walk, sit, bend, twist, squat, reach, and perform repetitive hand/finger movements.
  • Comfort working in hot or cold plant conditions.
  • Ability to lift up to 75 lbs throughout the shift.
Equipment you'll work with
  • Amada HG1003 ATC Press Brake (100 Metric Ton, 3 Meter)
  • Amada HG1303-M30 Press Brake (143 Ton, 10')
  • Amada HD 1003 ATC Press Brake
  • Amada HDS-8025 NT CNC Press Brake
  • Salvagnini P2 Panel Benders
