Experienced CNC Press Brake & Plasma Operator - $1200 hiring bonus.

Pay: $25.00–$26.25 per hour
Location: Boilerroom Equipment Inc. (BEI), Cheswick, PA 15024
Schedule: Monday–Thursday | 6:00 AM–4:00 PM | 4-Day Workweek
Employment: Full-time

4-DAY WORKWEEK — EVERY FRIDAY OFF

Work Monday through Thursday, 6:00 AM–4:00 PM, with Friday, Saturday, and Sunday off.

EXPERIENCED OPERATORS ONLY — BOTH MACHINES REQUIRED

Boilerroom Equipment Inc. is seeking an experienced CNC fabricator who has personally set up and operated BOTH a hydraulic CNC press brake and a CNC plasma cutting table.

You will be working with:

PRESS BRAKE
U.S. Industrial 200-Ton × 13' Hydraulic Press Brake
Model US20013AC with CNC backgauge

PLASMA CUTTING SYSTEM
Brand-New Plasmatic Pro 6' × 12' CNC Plasma Cutting System

You do not need experience on these exact makes or models, but you must have hands-on experience independently setting up and operating comparable CNC press brake AND CNC plasma cutting equipment.

What We Mean by "Operator Experience"

We are looking for someone who has actually run the machines.

Experience as a helper, assistant, material handler, loader/unloader, or someone who worked alongside a machine operator does not meet the experience requirements for this position.

The successful candidate must be able to independently set up and operate both types of equipment, read fabrication drawings, make necessary adjustments, and produce accurate parts without basic operator training.

What You'll Be Doing

You'll fabricate sheet-metal and light-plate components using carbon steel and stainless steel from 16 gauge through 3/16".

Responsibilities include:

• Set up and operate our U.S. Industrial 200-Ton × 13' Hydraulic Press Brake
• Set up and operate our brand-new Plasmatic Pro 6' × 12' CNC plasma cutting system
• Set up and adjust the CNC press brake backgauge
• Select appropriate press brake tooling
• Determine bend sequences
• Apply bend allowances and compensate for springback
• Set up and adjust the plasma cutting system for production
• Read and interpret fabrication drawings and weld symbols
• Make machine/program adjustments to meet print requirements
• Perform first-article and in-process inspections
• Produce accurate, consistent parts while maintaining safe work practices

REQUIRED EXPERIENCE — PLEASE READ BEFORE APPLYING

To be considered, you must have:

• Hands-on experience setting up AND operating a hydraulic CNC press brake
• Hands-on experience setting up AND operating a CNC plasma cutting table
• Experience on BOTH types of machines — not just one
• Experience working with carbon steel and stainless steel
• Experience fabricating material from approximately 16 ga through 3/16"
• Strong blueprint/fabrication drawing reading skills
• Ability to perform machine setups and work independently

This is not an entry-level, helper, assistant, or operator-trainee position.

If you have operated only a press brake OR only a plasma table, you do not meet the minimum requirements for this position.

Preferred Experience

• Experience with U.S. Industrial press brakes or comparable equipment
• Experience with Plasmatic Pro or comparable CNC plasma cutting systems
• CNC program editing or offline programming
• Job-shop or low-to-medium-volume fabrication
• Experience making setup and program adjustments based on finished-part measurements

Why Work With BEI?

• 4-day workweek — Monday through Thursday
• Every Friday off
• Day shift — 6:00 AM–4:00 PM
• Brand-new CNC plasma cutting system
• $25.00–$26.25 per hour upon permanent hire
• 8 paid holidays per year
• 30 hours of paid sick time per year
• 80 hours Paid time off (PTO)
• UPMC medical coverage
• Dental and vision insurance
• Life insurance
• 401(k)

Employment Structure

This position begins as a 90–120 day temporary assignment through an approved staffing agency. All candidates must initially be hired through the staffing agency.

Successful employees may be considered for permanent employment with Boilerroom Equipment Inc. based on performance. Permanent-hire pay is $25.00–$26.25 per hour.

Hiring Bonus Incentive

BEI is pleased to offer a hiring bonus totaling $1,200.00, payable in three installments based on the completion of the following employment milestones:

• After 9 months of full-time employment: Final bonus payment of $400.00.

Eligibility Requirements: The hiring bonus eligibility period begins on the employee's official start date as a full-time, direct employee of BEI. Any time worked through a temporary staffing agency prior to becoming a full-time BEI employee does not count toward the required employment milestones.

The total hiring bonus is $1,200.00, distributed in three payments of $400.00 each, contingent upon the employee maintaining continuous full-time employment with BEI through each applicable milestone.
