You'll be a member of our flexible, cross-trained CNC team, programming and operating Salvagnini panel benders and related CNC equipment (lasers, punches, tube lasers, press brakes) with minimal supervision during off-hours. To be successful in this role, you should have hands-on experience programming and operating CNC fabrication equipment, strong attention to detail, and the self-motivation to keep production moving independently during nights and weekends. Essential Duties Program AND operate the Salvagnini panel bender and associated CNC equipment - this role owns both ends of the job, from writing the program to running it on the shop floor. Meet and exceed standards set by the estimating department while utilizing equipment to its fullest capabilities. Set up jobs, verify material and tooling, and validate that programs process through the machine with the desired quality and safety. Read blueprints and drawings to determine characteristics required to program and run each job. Use Salvagnini software (including panel bender and automation interfaces), CADMAN Suite, and/or Artube to create, optimize, and manage CNC programs. Make machine and tooling selections to manufacture parts in the most cost-effective manner. Optimize nesting, cut quality, bend accuracy, and cycle times to improve throughput and material utilization. Independently troubleshoot part quality, fit-up, forming, and machine issues during the shift, escalating to a supervisor or on-call lead when needed. Maintain setup sheets, job travelers, and programming notes for handoff to the day shift. Maintains a safe, clean, and orderly work area in compliance with facility housekeeping policies. Wears required safety equipment and follows equipment safe-operation procedures.
