Press Brake Operator

About the Role

Dimensional Innovations is seeking an experienced CNC Press Brake Programmer / Operator to join our Metal Fabrication team. This is not a repetitive production role. Our team fabricates custom parts and assemblies for unique projects across the country, requiring a skilled professional who can independently program, set up, and operate CNC press brakes for one-off and low-volume work. If your experience is primarily running pre-programmed production parts, this position may not be the right fit. We are looking for someone who can read a print, determine bend sequences, select tooling, create or modify programs, and troubleshoot forming challenges independently.

Responsibilities

• Program, set up, and operate CNC press brake equipment
• Read and interpret blueprints, shop drawings, and fabrication specifications
• Develop bend sequences and determine the most efficient forming methods
• Select appropriate tooling based on material type, thickness, and bend requirements
• Create and modify machine programs for custom fabricated parts
• Perform first-piece inspections and verify dimensional accuracy
• Troubleshoot forming, tooling, and setup issues
• Maintain quality standards while meeting production schedules
• Assist with other fabrication activities as needed

Required Qualifications

• Experience programming and operating CNC press brakes
• Ability to create or modify programs from blueprints and part drawings
• Strong understanding of bend allowances, bend deductions, bend sequences, and tooling selection
• Ability to independently set up and run new jobs with minimal supervision
• Experience using precision measuring equipment, including calipers, tape measures, and other inspection tools
• Ability to read and interpret fabrication drawings and specifications
• Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail
• High school diploma or GED
• Ability to lift up to 50 pounds
• Ability to work in a manufacturing environment with noise, moving equipment, and varying conditions
• Reliable attendance and strong work ethic

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in a custom fabrication, job shop, or prototype environment
• Experience forming aluminum, steel, stainless steel, and other materials
• Additional fabrication experience including welding, machining, assembly, or metal finishing
• Experience with CNC press brake controls and offline programming software

Schedule

• Monday – Friday, 6:00 AM – 2:30 PM
• Overtime as needed

Benefits

• Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)
• 401(k) with company match
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Life and disability insurance
• Paid time off and paid holidays
• Paid parental leave
