• Form steel, stainless, and aluminum parts across a range of thicknesses
• Run first-article and in-process inspections with calipers, protractors, and radius gauges
• Adjust for spring back and material variation to hold tolerance
• Work with the cutting, welding, and quality teams to keep jobs moving
• Keep your area clean, organized, and safe

• [3+] years of hands-on press brake setup, not just running parts someone else set up
• CNC press brake experience ([brand] a plus)
• Ability to work out bend sequences and spot when a part can't be formed as drawn
• Solid shop math and measuring skills
• Ability to lift up to 50 lbs and stand for a full shift

• Job shop experience with high-mix, low-volume work
• Offline bend programming
