CNC Press Brake Technician

CNC Press Brake Technician

3 Day Work Week (Weekend Shift)

Picture your weekend shift kicking off with a clear set of engineered drawings and a queue of sheet metal parts to form. You review dimensions, confirm tolerances, and load or program your CNC Press Brake. For some jobs, you move to the CNC Turret Punch or laser cutting cell to prep blanks. First-article checks with a caliper, square, and protractor give you green lights to run. Between batches, you perform quick changeovers for different product lines and materials, keep your cell spotless, and log work orders in Powell’s Oracle MES.

Throughout the shift, you follow the Powell Quality System, complete required preventative maintenance on assigned equipment, and participate in ongoing Safety Training. You work independently, but you’re never alone—quality, safety, and on-time delivery guide the team.
