Job description

Company Overview

The company serves customers in energy, oil and gas, automotive, electric vehicle, and aerospace. We operate out of a state of the art 100,000 sqft facility in Conroe, Texas.

Position Summary

We are looking for an experienced Salvagnini Operator / Programmer to cover our night and weekend production shift. This is a hands-on, dual-responsibility role: you will both program and run the machine yourself — not hand off one to someone else. You'll be a member of our flexible, cross-trained CNC team, programming and operating Salvagnini panel benders and related CNC equipment (lasers, punches, tube lasers, press brakes) with minimal supervision during off-hours. To be successful in this role, you should have hands-on experience programming and operating CNC fabrication equipment, strong attention to detail, and the self-motivation to keep production moving independently during nights and weekends.

Essential Duties

●        Program AND operate the Salvagnini panel bender and associated CNC equipment — this role owns both ends of the job, from writing the program to running it on the shop floor.

●        Meet and exceed standards set by the estimating department while utilizing equipment to its fullest capabilities.

●        Set up jobs, verify material and tooling, and validate that programs process through the machine with the desired quality and safety.

●        Read blueprints and drawings to determine characteristics required to program and run each job.

●        Use Salvagnini software (including panel bender and automation interfaces), CADMAN Suite, and/or Artube to create, optimize, and manage CNC programs.

●        Make machine and tooling selections to manufacture parts in the most cost-effective manner.

●        Optimize nesting, cut quality, bend accuracy, and cycle times to improve throughput and material utilization.

●        Independently troubleshoot part quality, fit-up, forming, and machine issues during the shift, escalating to a supervisor or on-call lead when needed.

●        Maintain setup sheets, job travelers, and programming notes for handoff to the day shift.

●        Maintains a safe, clean, and orderly work area in compliance with facility housekeeping policies.

●        Wears required safety equipment and follows equipment safe-operation procedures.

Qualifications (Education/Experience) And Required Skills

●        Proven experience both programming AND operating CNC fabrication equipment (Salvagnini experience strongly preferred; will train the right candidate on Salvagnini-specific software).

●        Two or more years of experience working in a fabrication shop.

●        Familiarity with computerized nesting software preferred.

●        Ability to read blueprints and interpret bend lines and weld symbols.

●        Comfortable working independently with minimal supervision during night and weekend hours.

●        Demonstrated self-motivation, hustle, and ownership mindset.

●        Good understanding of safety standards and safe machine operation.

●        Attention to detail.
