About the Role
We are hiring skilled CNC Machine Operators across multiple specialties, including Press Brake Operators, Plate Roll Operators, and CNC Plasma Burner Operators. Whether you bring 3 to 5 years of solid hands-on experience or 15+ years as a master fabricator in one or more of these areas, we have a place for your expertise.
While we are hiring dedicated specialists for each machine type, candidates with cross-functional experience across multiple operations are highly desired.
Key Responsibilities (Role-Specific & Shop Floor)
- Machine Operation (Specialized): Set up and safely operate equipment within your primary trade discipline:
- Press Brake: Operate CNC Press Brakes (AccurPress, Cincinnati) to form precision components.
- Plate Roll: Operate CNC Plate Rolling Equipment (Davi, Faccin) to roll cylinders, half cylinders, cones, and weld pads, using sweeps to check pre-bend and roll radius.
- Plasma Burner: Set up, program/nest, and operate CNC Plasma Burning equipment to cut carbon and stainless steel plate.
- Layout & Tack Welding: Perform job layout and tack-weld components using FCAW (Flux-Cored) and GMAW (Hardwire/MIG) as required for fit-up.
- Quality Inspection: Inspect finished parts against engineering drawings by measuring length, height, width, angles, and Outer Diameter (OD via strap). Accurately log measurements on work orders for QC sign-off.
- Material Handling: Safely load, unload, and maneuver heavy plate materials using overhead cranes and industrial forklifts.
- Maintenance & Safety: Complete routine equipment maintenance (daily, weekly, monthly), maintain a clean workspace, and actively participate in our shop safety culture.
What We Are Looking For
- Core Machine Expertise: 3 to 20+ years of dedicated experience operating CNC Press Brakes, CNC Plate Rolls, OR CNC Plasma Burners in a custom fabrication or heavy manufacturing environment. (Cross-experience on multiple machines is a major plus).
- Blueprint & Inspection Skills: Strong ability to read engineering drawings, hold tight tolerances, and use standard measuring tools (sweeps, OD straps, calipers, protractors).
- Tack Welding & Rigging: Practical skill with basic MIG/Flux-Cored tack welding and safe overhead crane/forklift operation.
- Quality Focus: A track record of accurate measurement logging, material verification, and catching questionable material before processing.
