CNC Turret Punch Programmer-Operator (Sheet Metal)

Job Description

Job Description

Step into a day on our production floor

You power up an Amada turret punch, pull down the right program, and build your setup from a clean slate—selecting punches, dies, and forming tools, aligning the turret, verifying offsets, and running a first-article check. With calipers in hand, you measure critical features, compare them to the blueprint, and tweak the pattern for speed and accuracy. A misfeed pops up—you diagnose the cause, swap worn tooling, and keep parts moving without sacrificing quality. Throughout the day, you collaborate with engineering on design intent, sync with fabrication and supervisors on schedules, and keep meticulous records so throughput stays steady and safe.

What you'll do

• Independently set up, program, and operate CNC turret punch equipment to produce precise sheet metal components.
• Load / recall programs, choose correct tooling, align and verify setups, and optimize punch patterns for accuracy and cycle time.
• Perform in-process inspections with precision instruments (including calipers) to confirm parts meet drawing specifications.
• Interpret technical drawings and translate them into efficient turret operations and nest strategies.
• Monitor tool wear, address misfeeds, and correct material-related issues to protect quality and machine performance.
• Document production and inspection data to support traceability and continuous improvement.
• Coordinate with engineering, fabrication, and leadership to hit production targets while working independently.
• Plan workflow to maintain consistent output, efficiency, and safety.
