Full Job Description

We’re Hiring!

We are seeking a skilled CNC Press Brake Setup Operator to join our fabrication team. This is a lead-level, hands-on role requiring a candidate who can independently perform complex machine set ups, select appropriate tooling, and trouble shoot production issues while supporting our team of operators as needed. Unlike a general operator, this role requires a candidate who can independently perform complex machine setups, select appropriate tooling, and troubleshoot production issues. You will be responsible for transforming flat sheet metal into precise three-dimensional components while maintaining strict quality and safety standards.

Why You’ll Love Working with Us

In addition to competitive pay and comprehensive benefits, we offer:

Weekly pay
Most group insurance benefits start the first of the month after 30 days of service
Profit-sharing plan to reward your contributions
Opportunities for continued skills development

What You’ll Do

Machine Setup: Independently select, install, and align correct punch and die tooling (V-dies, radius dies, etc.) based on blueprint specifications and verify setup readiness prior to production release
Operation & Programming: Program CNC controllers, adjust back-gauge stops, and manage forming sequences to achieve precise bend angles
Blueprint Reading: Interpret complex 2D/3D engineering drawings and technical schematics to determine material requirements and bend orders
Quality Control: Perform first-piece and in-process inspections using precision tools such as calipers, micrometers, and protractors to maintain tight tolerances (e.g., ±.005)
Safety: Adhere to all safety protocols, including proper use of light curtains and Lockout/Tagout procedures

Shift Schedule:

Monday–Thursday: 6:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

Schedule subject to change based on organizational needs. Depending on business needs, flexibility to work a second shift may be requested.

What We’re Looking For

Experience: Minimum 2–3 years of experience in press brake setup and operation 3+ years of press brake setup experience with demonstrated ability to perform independent setups and program CNC controllers (e.g., Amada, Haco, Cincinnati, Trumpf)
Technical Skills: Strong proficiency in blueprint reading and basic shop math (geometry/trigonometry) for calculating bend allowances
Experience training or guiding other operators is preferred

This position requires heavy work, including lifting up to 50 lbs, standing and walking for extended periods, bending, reaching, grasping objects, and the ability to see at a distance, up close, and in color. Exposure to outdoor weather, heat, noise, dust, and possible fumes may occur.

We are an equal opportunity employer. We will endeavor to make reasonable accommodations for qualified individuals with known disabilities. You may confidentially discuss accommodation needs with Human Resources at any time throughout the hiring process.

Pay: From $25.00 per hour

Benefits:

401(k)

Health insurance
Health savings account
Life insurance
Paid time off

Application Question(s):

Do you have experience independently setting up a CNC press brake, including selecting and installing punch and die tooling?
Have you created or modified CNC programs for press brake operations (e.g., Amada, Cincinnati, Trumpf, or similar)?
How many years of hands-on press brake setup experience do you have?
