Press Brake Operator

Job Details: Job Location: DI - HQ - Overland Park, KS, Salary Range: Undisclosed, CNC PRESS BRAKE OPERATOR

Build Something Different Every Day

Dimensional Innovations is seeking an experienced CNC Press Brake Programmer / Operator to join our Metal Fabrication team. This is not a repetitive production role. Our team fabricates custom parts and assemblies for unique projects across the country, requiring a skilled professional who can independently program, set up, and operate CNC press brakes for one-off and low-volume work.

If your experience is primarily running pre-programmed production parts, this position may not be the right fit. We are looking for someone who can read a print, determine bend sequences, select tooling, create or modify programs, and troubleshoot forming challenges independently.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Program, set up, and operate CNC press brake equipment
Read and interpret blueprints, shop drawings, and fabrication specifications
Develop bend sequences and determine the most efficient forming methods
Select appropriate tooling based on material type, thickness, and bend requirements
Create and modify machine programs for custom fabricated parts
Perform first-piece inspections and verify dimensional accuracy
Troubleshoot forming, tooling, and setup issues
Maintain quality standards while meeting production schedules
Assist with other fabrication activities as needed

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Required Qualifications

Experience programming and operating CNC press brakes
Ability to create or modify programs from blueprints and part drawings
Strong understanding of bend allowances, bend deductions, bend sequences, and tooling selection
Ability to independently set up and run new jobs with minimal supervision
Experience using precision measuring equipment, including calipers, tape measures, and other inspection tools
Ability to read and interpret fabrication drawings and specifications
Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail

Preferred Qualifications

Experience in a custom fabrication, job shop, or prototype environment
Experience forming aluminum, steel, stainless steel, and other materials
Additional fabrication experience including welding, machining, assembly, or metal finishing
Experience with CNC press brake controls and offline programming software
