Oakleaf Forestry Ltd is a successful, forward-thinking engineering and fabrication business, supporting the forestry and OEM sectors. Our team takes pride in quality, efficiency, and problem-solving -- not just production volume.
We're expanding our engineering team and looking for an
experienced Press Brake Operator
who brings both technical skill and a positive, solutions-focused attitude.
The Opportunity
This is
not a repetitive, high-volume production role
.
You will fold a
wide variety of complex parts
across:
Multiple material thicknesses.
Multiple angles and radii.
Complex fold sequences.
You'll set jobs up from drawings, change tools as required, and work closely with our team to maintain our reputation for quality and precision.
What We're Looking For
We want
more than an operator
who has stood at the same machine folding thousands of identical 5mm parts at 90.
The right person will:
Enjoy variety and the challenge of complex fold jobs.
Be proactive and take pride in getting jobs done right.
Communicate professionally and contribute to a positive team environment.
Arrive on time and stay engaged.
Think ahead and solve problems rather than create them.
Essential Skills & Experience
Minimum 3 years' experience operating CNC press brakes.
Proven experience folding a wide range of parts and materials.
Strong understanding of tooling, setup, angles, radii and sequencing.
Ability to work from technical drawings with minimal supervision.
Desirable
Experience with
CNC Delem 3D Controller
or similar.
Background in bespoke or low-to-medium volume fabrication.
Package
Competitive hourly rate:
negotiable for the right candidate
.
Clean, modern, well-equipped workshop.
Opportunity for progression in a growing, well-managed business.
Stable, varied, interesting work.
Interested?
If you're an experienced press brake operator who wants
variety, responsibility and respect
, we want to hear from you.

Note
We are only interested in experienced, dependable,
solutions-focused operators
-- not those looking to stand at a press brake folding one part all day.
