*The stated compensation range reflects the full scope of the role as currently structured and is provided in accordance with pay transparency requirements.

This is a hands-on production role for someone who wants to build or continue developing practical manufacturing skills in metal forming and brake press support.
As a Brake Press Helper, you will work closely with operators and production leadership to help prepare, form, inspect, and move work through the department. The role offers exposure to technical drawings, work orders, quality checks, forming equipment, and continuous improvement practices, making it well suited to someone who enjoys learning on the floor and contributing to work that has to be done accurately.
For the right person, this is more than a helper role. It is a chance to become a trusted part of a production team, develop stronger technical judgment, and support the flow of quality parts through a busy manufacturing environment.
The role begins on a day shift schedule for the first one to two weeks:
After the initial training/orientation period, the position moves to an afternoon shift:
This afternoon schedule provides a three-day weekend every week: Friday, Saturday, and Sunday off.
The Brake Press Helper will support forming operations by assisting with daily production priorities, organizing work orders, tracking order progress, and helping ensure parts are completed to specification.
You will assist with forming tasks involving various metals, including mild steel, aluminum, and stainless steel. This will include reviewing drawings, blueprints, measurements, work orders, and procedures to help fabricate parts and assemblies accurately.
The role also involves supporting quality checks throughout the forming process. You will help monitor bends, identify potential defects, assist with inspections, and support First Article Inspection activity where required. When quality concerns arise, you may work with production leadership and quality team members to help resolve issues related to part damage, shortages, tolerances, or other non-conformances.
Maintaining a safe, organized, and efficient work area is also an important part of the role. The successful candidate will follow health and safety practices, wear required safety gear, support 5S standards, and help keep forming equipment and work areas in good condition.
You will also participate in training, process improvement, and continuous improvement initiatives as needed, with the goal of improving forming methods, production flow, and overall department performance.
The ideal candidate will bring some hands-on manufacturing, fabrication, metal forming, or general production experience.
