CNC Press Brake Operator

HIRING NOW
· START BY MAY 30
· WESTERN COLORADO

Lock in a critical seat on a fast-scaling industrial fabrication platform.

Own the CNC Press Brake bench across our entire pod system — from architectural cladding programs for national transit clients to AWS structural fabrications for utility-scale infrastructure.
This is a dedicated, owned seat — not a shared role.

Mountain Off-Road / DSM is a precision steel fabrication and CNC machining platform in Delta, Colorado. Our work spans:

• Architectural cladding for national transit programs
• AWS D1.1 structural steel for utility-scale infrastructure
• Stainless production cells for OEM clients
• Aftermarket consumer products

We're scaling. In the last twelve months we've signed multi-year programs with national clients, launched a dedicated stainless production cell, and stood up the first formal pod operating model in our shop's history.
This isn't a maintenance shop.

• Run our CNC press brake on aluminum, mild steel, and stainless — gauges from 14ga to 1/4"+
• Read shop drawings, set tooling, dial in bend angles, and produce parts to spec —
  first piece, every piece
• Program and edit jobs at the controller — die selection, bend sequence, tonnage, spring back compensation
• Quality-check your own work — tight first-piece and in-process inspection process
• Coordinate with laser operator and pod fabricators to keep work flowing
• Keep the brake running clean — preventive maintenance, tooling library organization, safety culture

• First 90 days: Learn our tooling library, run production on anchor program work.
• 6 months: Full brake bench autonomy. Own setup, programming, and throughput. Begin cross-training a backup.
• 12 months: Brake bench lead. Influence tooling, equipment, and process decisions. Eligible for Pod Lead candidacy.
• Beyond: Brake/Forming Cell Lead as the platform scales.

• 3+ years CNC press brake operation (
  Amada, Cincinnati, Trumpf, LVD
  , or comparable)
• Comfort programming at the controller and reading shop drawings
• Solid grasp of bend allowances, K-factor, spring back, and tonnage calculation
• Mechanical aptitude — troubleshoot tooling and minor controller issues
• Ability to lift 50 lbs, stand for full shift, work safely around moving steel

• Experience forming aluminum (architectural panels, cladding work)
• Tooling library management or die catalog organization experience
• Background in pod- or cell-based production environments
• Welding, laser, or general fabrication cross-skills

• $21 – $25/hr based on experience, with reviews tied to clear performance milestones
• Production bonuses and signing bonus available for the right candidate
• Paid time off and parental leave
• Tools and PPE provided — bring you, not your kit
• Modern, well-equipped shop with a professional production management layer
• A real path — we promote internally first
