Job Description

Press Brake Setter Operator – Progression Into CAD

Location: Leicester
Pay: £17.00 – £18.50 per hour DOE
Hours: Day shift
Job Type: Permanent

Are you an experienced Press Brake Setter Operator who wants to move beyond the machine and develop into CAD?

This is a rare opportunity for a skilled press brake setter to join a specialist Leicester manufacturer offering genuine progression into SolidWorks/CAD work. You’ll start in a hands-on folding role, but for the right person, the long-term aim is to develop you into a more technical position involving drawings, programming and CAD support.

So, if you’re good on the press brake but don’t want to be doing exactly the same job in five years’ time, this could be the move that gives you a proper next step.

The company produces high-quality, bespoke metalwork for premium retail, interiors and display projects. The work is varied, the finish matters, and you’ll be working in an environment where skill and attention to detail are properly valued.

The Role

You will initially be responsible for:

  * Setting and operating Amada press brake machines

  * Folding sheet metal components to engineering drawings

  * Producing varied, bespoke and project-based work

  * Checking your own work using measuring equipment

  * Working to tight tolerances and high-quality standards

  * Supporting the wider manufacturing team when required

As you develop, there is scope to get involved with:

  * SolidWorks/CAD

  * Drawing interpretation and amendments

  * Programming support

  * Technical planning

  * Laser cutting support, if you have or want to build experience in this area

What We’re Looking For

You must have:

  * Experience setting and operating press brake machines

  * Strong folding experience

  * Ability to read engineering drawings

  * Good attention to detail

  * A reliable, hands-on attitude

  * An interest in developing into CAD or more technical work

It would be beneficial if you have experience with:

  * Amada press brake machines

  * SolidWorks or other CAD software

  * Laser cutting machinery

  * Sheet metal fabrication

  * Bespoke or low-volume manufacturing

Why Apply?

  * Genuine progression from press brake into CAD

  * Chance to develop SolidWorks skills

  * Pay above the local average

  * Varied, high-quality project work

  * Work with Amada machinery

  * Permanent day shift role

  * Join a specialist manufacturer where this is a career move, not just another machine job
