PERLICK CORPORATION•Milwaukee, WI

2d•$0 - $30•Onsite

About The Position

Set up, adjust, and operate press brakes to perform forming and bending operations on materials of various gauges while meeting close dimensional requirements. Position, align, and secure forming dies; adjust ram stroke to suit material gauge and the required angle or contour; and set stop gauges according to dimensional specifications, templates, or samples. Limited setup knowledge is acceptable when initially bidding for the position, but candidates must have at least six months of machine-operation experience. The operator must be able to perform basic press brake equipment setups within six months of starting and continue developing skills in more advanced setups. Established efficiency and productivity standards must be met. Determine the sequence of bends for multiple-pass work involving bends at different angles and in different planes. Improvise setups for special shapes, including single or compound radii and angle flanges, carefully adjusting the ram to avoid surface irregularities. Work from drawings, specifications, templates, and samples. Use measuring instruments to set up and inspect work. Work with minimum supervision and take responsibility for the quality of own work; work is subject to process and final inspection. This is a second-shift position in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, scheduled from 3:15 p.m. to 11:45 p.m. It is eligible for a $1.00 shift differential. The stated salary is $29.91 per hour.
