• Interpret complex engineering drawings, blueprints, and flat-pattern layouts to execute accurate part production.
• Monitor machine performance, make real-time adjustments to cutting/bending parameters, and troubleshoot structural or mechanical variances.
• Conduct structural quality checks on finished parts using calipers, micrometers, and protractors to ensure strict adherence to tolerances.
• Perform routine preventive maintenance on machinery to maximize operational uptime and safety.
• Collaborate with manufacturing engineers and floor supervisors to optimize material yields and continuous improvement targets.

Requirements

• 3–5+ years of hands-on experience in CNC machine setup, operation, and troubleshooting within a precision metal fabrication environment.
• Proven proficiency in reading and interpreting structural engineering drawings, welding symbols, and blueprints.
• Strong understanding of sheet metal properties, bend allowances, and precision measuring tools (calipers, height gauges, etc.).
• Demonstrated problem-solving ability regarding machine error codes or material defects.
• Commitment to strict industrial safety standards (PPE, lock-out/tag-out protocols).
• Must have the ability to safely lift and move objects weighing up to 50 lbs.
• Must be capable of standing, bending, and executing repetitive tasks for prolonged periods of time.
• Ability to read, identify, and recognize details, color-coding, and fine print at close range on associated engineering drawings.

Qualifications

• Technical certifications or vocational training in manufacturing, machining, or mechanical disciplines.
• Direct experience operating high-end automated bending cells or structural tube lasers.
• Familiarity with lean manufacturing concepts or continuous improvement environments.

Benefits
