ABOUT ICON SHEET METAL
Icon Sheet Metal is a precision sheet metal fabrication shop producing high-mix parts and assemblies for a range of customers. We're looking for experienced Press Brake Set-Up Operators who can work independently, hold tight tolerances, and take pride in clean, consistent work.
EQUIPMENT YOU'LL RUN
Amada RG-80 press brakes with Hurco Autobend 7 controllers
Trumpf TruBend 3100
ROLE SUMMARY
You will set up and operate press brakes from drawings, select and stage tooling, perform first-off inspections, and run jobs safely and efficiently. This is not a "button pusher" role -- we need someone who can think through bend sequences, make adjustments, and produce quality parts without constant supervision.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Perform complete press brake set-ups: tooling selection, installation, alignment, and safe start-up
Read and interpret fabrication drawings (dimensions, tolerances, bend directions, notes)
Establish bend sequences and backgauge strategy to achieve accurate, repeatable results
Make machine adjustments (angles, offsets, backgauge positions) and troubleshoot issues as they arise
Complete first-off inspections and in-process checks using measuring tools (tape, calipers, micrometers, angle gauges/protractors, etc.)
Maintain quality standards: minimize scrap/rework and communicate issues early
Handle material safely; move parts/skids with appropriate equipment when required
Keep the brake area organized: tooling care, 5S, basic preventative maintenance checks
Follow all safety procedures and contribute to a safe, professional shop environment
Coordinate with production/engineering when drawings, tolerances, or forming methods need clarification
REQUIREMENTS (MUST-HAVE)
3+ years experience running press brakes in a fabrication environment (set-up + run)
Strong blueprint reading and measuring skills
Proven ability to work independently and deliver consistent quality
Experience selecting tooling and setting up for a variety of part types and materials
Good communication and a team-first attitude (quality and deadlines matter)
NICE-TO-HAVE (ASSETS)
Experience with Amada RG series, Hurco Autobend controls, and/or Trumpf TruBend brakes
Experience with tight tolerance / high-mix work
Ability to train or support junior operators (not required, but valuable)
WORKING CONDITIONS
Standing/walking for extended periods
Lifting and handling parts as required (with proper equipment for heavier loads)
Shop environment with typical fabrication noise and PPE requirements
HOW TO APPLY
Icon Sheet Metal is an equal opportunity employer. Accommodations are available on request for candidates taking part in all aspects of the selection process in accordance with applicable legislation.
