Position Overview

We are seeking an experienced Punch Press Operator to operate production machinery in a fast-paced metal-stamping environment. This position is responsible for setting up, operating, and monitoring punch press equipment used to manufacture precision metal components.

The ideal candidate will have previous punch press or metal-stamping experience, a strong understanding of production safety, and the ability to inspect parts using basic precision measuring instruments.

Primary Responsibilities

Set up and operate mechanical, hydraulic, or automatic punch press machinery.
Load coils, metal strips, blanks, or other raw materials into production equipment.
Install, align, and remove dies, fixtures, and tooling as required.
Adjust machine settings, material feeds, guides, sensors, and stops according to job specifications.
Operate coil-fed and progressive die-stamping equipment.
Review work orders, blueprints, part drawings, setup sheets, and production instructions.
Start the press and monitor operations to ensure parts are produced correctly and safely.
Inspect completed parts for cracks, burrs, bends, surface defects, incorrect dimensions, or other quality concerns.
Use calipers, micrometers, gauges, rulers, and other measuring instruments to verify part dimensions.
Complete first-piece, in-process, and final inspections according to quality requirements.
Identify press, die, material-feed, sensor, or part-quality problems and notify the supervisor or toolroom.
Make authorized minor machine adjustments to maintain product quality and production efficiency.
Remove jams and misfeeds by following proper lockout/tagout and safety procedures.
Record production quantities, scrap, downtime, inspection results, and material usage.
Separate, count, package, label, and organize finished parts.
Move raw materials and completed products using approved material-handling equipment.
Maintain a clean and organized machine area.
Follow all safety procedures, quality standards, work instructions, and company policies.
Assist with other production or metal-stamping duties as assigned.

Required Qualifications

Previous punch press, press operator, machine operator, or metal-stamping experience.
Experience working with mechanical, hydraulic, or automatic punch presses.
Knowledge of progressive dies, coil feeding, or metal-forming operations is strongly preferred.
Ability to read basic blueprints, work orders, setup sheets, and part specifications.
Experience using calipers, micrometers, gauges, or other measuring instruments.
Basic math and measurement skills.
Ability to identify visible part defects and report quality concerns.
Understanding of machine guarding and general manufacturing safety.
Ability to follow verbal and written instructions.
Strong attention to detail and commitment to producing quality parts.
Dependable attendance and punctuality.
Ability to work independently and as part of a manufacturing team.
Willingness to work overtime when production needs require it.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience working in a high-volume metal-stamping environment.
Experience operating coil-fed presses and progressive stamping dies.
Basic punch press setup or die-change experience.
Familiarity with sensors, feeders, straighteners, and material-handling equipment.
Knowledge of lockout/tagout procedures.
Forklift or overhead-crane experience is helpful but not required.

Physical Requirements

Ability to stand and walk for most of the shift.
Ability to bend, reach, push, pull, and perform repetitive movements.
Ability to lift and handle metal parts and materials safely.
Ability to work around moving machinery, production noise, lubricants, and metal materials.
Ability to wear required personal protective equipment, including safety glasses, hearing protection, gloves, and safety shoes.
