About QB Fabrication & Welding, Inc.

QB Fabrication & Welding, Inc. is a premier steel fabrication company specializing in structural steel for high-voltage transmission and substation infrastructure. Based in Clackamas, Oregon, we are the largest producer of steel lattice towers in the Pacific Northwest. Our fast-growing team is driven by integrity, technical precision, and a commitment to top-tier quality. As we continue to expand, we are seeking a skilled Programmer to join our production team and help ensure precision, efficiency, and quality in all CNC programming operations.

Position Summary

The Programmer plays a critical role in the planning and execution of structural steel fabrication by creating, optimizing, and managing CNC machine programs for cutting, drilling, and punching operations. Utilizing AutoCAD, SigmaNEST, PeddiMat, and adjacent software platforms, the Programmer ensures that work orders are translated into accurate machine-ready instructions that maximize material utilization, maintain tight tolerances, and align with project deadlines. This position demands technical expertise, problem-solving skills, and close collaboration with operators, engineers, and project managers.

Key Responsibilities

1. CNC Programming & Optimization

Create, modify, and optimize CNC programs using SigmaNEST, PeddiMat, AutoCAD, and related CAD programming software for beamline, plate burner, and angle master machines.
Import and interpret CAD drawings, nesting layouts, and work orders to generate accurate cut paths, drilling patterns, and tooling instructions.
Optimize material yield through efficient nesting, sequencing, and toolpath strategies while minimizing waste and rework.
Perform program simulations and verify machine instructions to ensure accuracy before release to production.

2. Workflow Coordination

Work closely with CNC Machine Operators to provide clear, complete, and accurate programs for daily production.
Update and adjust programs in response to material variations, machine conditions, or updated project requirements.
Work with Programmer/Foreman to ensure all programming files and revisions are properly documented and stored in accordance with company standards.

3. Quality & Compliance

Validate programs against project specifications, structural steel tolerances, and fabrication standards.
Identify and correct errors, collisions, or inefficiencies in programming before production begins.
Support quality assurance by collaborating with third party inspectors and production staff to address dimensional or cut-quality issues.

4. Maintenance of Programming Systems

Maintain software libraries, tooling databases, and machine configuration files.
Assist with updates, backups, and troubleshooting of CNC programming software.

5. Collaboration & Communication

Partner with our fabricators, foremen, and Project Manager to clarify design intent and production needs.
Proactively communicate any challenges, design discrepancies, or optimization opportunities.
Contribute to process improvement initiatives that enhance productivity, accuracy, and throughput.

Required Qualifications

Minimum 3+ years of CNC programming experience in structural steel fabrication or a closely related field.
Proficiency with SigmaNEST and PeddiMat (or AutoCAD equivalent).
Strong knowledge of structural steel fabrication processes, tolerances, and materials preferred.
Ability to read and interpret complex technical drawings, fabrication blueprints, and CAD files.
Solid understanding of CNC machinery capabilities, cutting speeds, and tooling.
High attention to detail and a methodical approach to error prevention.
Proficient with Microsoft Office 365 and comfortable with digital documentation workflows.
Strong problem-solving skills and ability to adapt to changing priorities in a fast-paced environment.
High school diploma or GED required; vocational or technical training in CNC programming or drafting is a plus.

Compensation & Benefits

Competitive hourly rate: $28.00 – $40.00 (DOE)
Comprehensive Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance
401(k) with company match
Paid Time Off (PTO)
Tuition reimbursement and continued education support
