Sheet Metal Bending Operator / Press Brake Operator

As a Sheet Metal Bender / Press Brake Operator, your role involves setting up, operating, and maintaining press brake machines to bend, form, and shape sheet metal components based on precise engineering blueprints and specifications. Your understanding of metal properties, tooling selection, and precision measurement will be crucial in producing high-quality parts efficiently and safely. Key Responsibilities: - Set up press brakes (both manual and CNC) for production runs, including selecting and installing appropriate punches, dies, and tooling. - Interpret complex engineering drawings, blueprints, and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) symbols to understand bend angles, dimensions, and sequence. - Program CNC press brakes using control panels; enter data such as bend angle, tonnage, and back gauge position. Experience with software like [e.g., Amada, Trumpf, LVD] is a plus. - Perform first-off inspections to ensure parts meet all quality standards before full production run. - Operate machinery to bend, form, notch, punch, and shear sheet metal to specified dimensions. - Use precision measuring instruments (e.g., calipers, micrometers, height gauges, protractors, radius gauges) to verify part dimensions and angles against specifications. - Monitor production runs for consistency and quality, making necessary adjustments to the machine setup to maintain part integrity. - Identify and report any non-conforming materials or parts to the supervisor. Qualifications & Experience: - High school diploma or equivalent (GED). - Experience (3-4 years) as a Press Brake Operator in a sheet metal fabrication environment. - Familiarity with a wide range of metals (e.g., stainless steel, aluminum, cold-rolled steel) and their bending characteristics. In addition to the above responsibilities and qualifications, the job is full-time and permanent, offering benefits such as health insurance and Provident Fund. The work location is in person.,
