Thatcham, Berkshire Salary: £17.50 – £25.00 per hour (dependent on experience) Overtime Job Type: Full-time, Permanent Benefits:
Generous overtime rates, career progression, modern working environment, company pension. About the Client Our client is a highly successful, rapidly expanding producer of high-performance metal solutions. Renowned for their uncompromising reputation for quality finished products, they supply precision-engineered components to premium sectors. Due to sustained growth and investment in state-of-the-art machinery, they are now seeking an experienced CNC Press Brake Operator to join their skilled workshop team in Thatcham.
The Role This is a fantastic opportunity for a skilled fabricator to work with high-quality materials and complex, low-volume/high-variance projects. You will be responsible for setting and operating CNC press brakes to produce precision components, ensuring the highest standards of accuracy.
Key Responsibilities:
Set and operate CNC Press Brakes (Amada, Bystronic, Trumpf or similar multi-axis machines). Select correct tooling, including top punches and bottom V-dies, based on material thickness and specifications. Interpret engineering drawings (blueprints) to determine bend sequences and tolerances. Form complex, high-precision parts in various metals (stainless steel, aluminium, mild steel). Perform self-inspection of finished parts using calipers, protractors, and verniers to guarantee strict quality standards.
Adjust programs and machine settings to account for material variations and spring back.
About You:
Proven experience as a CNC Press Brake Setter/Operator within a precision fabrication or sheet metal environment. Strong blueprint reading skills with a solid understanding of bend allowances and material characteristics. Ability to work independently, executing setups from start to finish rather than just "button pushing." High attention to detail with a pride in producing clean, high-performance metalwork. Reliable team player with a proactive attitude toward workshop efficiency and safety.
What’s on Offer? Highly competitive pay scale (£17.50 to £25.00/hr) tailored precisely to your level of expertise and setup capabilities. Plentiful overtime opportunities to significantly boost your take-home pay. A stable, thriving business that invests heavily in its facility, equipment, and staff. Clean, modern, and well-organised workshop conditions.
