Why Join Us?
Are you a detail-oriented maker who takes pride in seeing a flat sheet of metal transform into a precision part? We are looking for a skilled Brake Press Operator to join our production team. We value safety, precision, and a clean work environment where your expertise directly impacts our customers' success.
The Role

- Quality Control: Take ownership of your work by evaluating dimensions and correcting defects to ensure 100% accuracy.
- Finish with Pride: Select and use grinders and abrasives to meet surface requirements and "clean up" parts.
- Material Handling: Safely move materials using cranes, magnets, and fixtures.
- Safety First: Maintain a clean, organized workspace and look out for your teammates' safety.
- Experience: Previous experience in metal forming or brake press operation is highly preferred.
- Technical Skills: Ability to read blueprints/drawings and follow sequenced control instructions.
- Precision: A "get it right the first time" mentality.
- Safety Mindset: Proven ability to work safely in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
- Commitment: Must be able to pass our internal shop assessment within your first week.
