Kalamazoo, MI Other
POSTED ON 10/23/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 11/21/2026
Step into a day shaping metal with precision

From first bend to final inspection, you keep production moving and quality on target.

How your day unfolds

You begin by reviewing blueprints, drawings, work orders, and specifications. With a clear plan in mind, you set up and operate CNC and manual brake press machines, selecting the proper tooling and dialing in machine settings for each bending operation.

Before the run takes off, you complete a first-piece inspection. Throughout the shift, you perform in-process checks, measuring parts to verify they meet required tolerances and making adjustments as needed to maintain both productivity and quality.

What you’ll work with
  • CNC and manual press brakes
  • Blueprints, drawings, work orders, and specifications
  • Tooling selection for varied bend operations
  • Materials: carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and galvanized steel
Your impact on quality and flow
  • Measure and inspect parts to ensure conformance to tight tolerances
  • Perform first-piece and in-process quality inspections
  • Maintain production efficiency while safeguarding product quality
  • Identify and report equipment, material, or quality concerns promptly
Teamwork, organization, and safety
  • Assist with material handling and keep work areas organized
  • Keep workstations clean and maintain a safe working environment
  • Collaborate with team members to meet production schedules and customer expectations

If you take pride in accurate bends, thoughtful setups, and a tidy, safe work area, you’ll fit right in—and your craftsmanship will show in every part that leaves the press.
