Roll Bender/Machine Operator

Albina Co. Inc.•Tualatin, OR

About The Position

The Roll Bender/Machine Operator sets up and operates roll bending machines to produce parts to specified radii, dimensions, and tolerances. The role involves interpreting engineering drawings, work orders, and CNC programs; performing geometric shop calculations; selecting appropriate tooling; handling materials; and bending and pre-bending metal into uniform forms. Operators inspect finished parts and may also perform tack welding, fit-up, or basic equipment maintenance as required. This is a physically demanding swing-shift position requiring repeated lifting and prolonged standing. Applicants must complete a drug test.

Requirements

Understand metal properties, including those of carbon steel, stainless steel, and alloys, as well as springback and machine mechanics.
Use a calculator to determine geometric dimensions precisely for machine setup and to avoid scrap material.
Adhere strictly to shop safety protocols and wear steel-toe boots and eye protection while working around heavy rotating machinery.
Perform basic GMAW (MIG) welding for machine setups as required.
Lift 50 pounds repeatedly and stand for four hours at a time.
Read, write, and speak English to complete paperwork and communicate with coworkers.
Pass a drug test.

Nice To Haves

Forklift and loading experience are highly preferred.

Responsibilities

Set up and operate roll bending machines to meet specified radii, dimensions, and tolerances.
Perform shop math calculations involving radius, diameter, chord, rise, arc length, and bend angles.
Identify and select tooling for different material shapes, sizes, and bending requirements.
Interpret engineering drawings, work orders, and CNC programs to achieve required diameters, radii, and tolerances.
Safely operate overhead cranes, forklifts, and material-handling equipment when qualified.
Perform edge pre-bending and continuous rolling to form uniform shells, tanks, or pipes with minimal flat spots.
Measure finished parts with tape measures, calipers, and template gauges to verify roundness and surface integrity.
Perform tack welding, fit-up, or basic equipment maintenance as shop requirements dictate.
Maintain accurate production paperwork and follow established quality and safety procedures.
