Precision Press Brake Machinist

Do you thrive on turning a flat sheet into a flawless form—every angle dead‑on, every tolerance nailed? If you can move from blueprint to first‑piece pass without breaking a sweat, True FAB & Powder wants to meet you.

What challenge will you own?

Given a new print, you’ll select the right tooling, set gauges, and make that first test bend. You’ll tweak until the part matches spec, then keep production humming—loading parts by hand or with a hoist, coordinating with teammates, and verifying every dimension. You’ll stay ahead of issues by spotting over/under bends and warping before they become scrap. And when the job changes, you pivot fast, reset, and deliver again.
