Burn Table Operator

Bring Your Experience. Hit the Ground Running.

We're looking for a highly skilled Burn Table Operator / Plate Roll Operator who can step into the shop and immediately contribute. This is not an entry-level position —we need an experienced professional with proven hands-on expertise operating CNC burn tables, plate rolls, pipe rolls, and angle rolls in a heavy fabrication environment.

If you take pride in producing quality work, working safely, and solving problems independently, we'd like to hear from you.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced fabrication shop and is willing to support other shop operations as needed to help the team succeed.

What You'll Do

CNC Burn Table Operations (Required)

• Independently operate CNC burn tables from startup through production.
• Load existing programs, verify nesting layouts, and begin cutting with minimal supervision.
• Set torch heights, inspect consumables, and verify proper cutting parameters.
• Load and position material using forklifts and overhead cranes.
• Verify completed parts against fabrication drawings and nesting layouts.
• Mark, etch, identify, and organize cut parts for downstream fabrication.
• Monitor cut quality and troubleshoot common operational issues.
• Maintain a clean work area and assist with routine equipment maintenance.

Plate, Pipe & Angle Rolling Operations

Plate Rolling

Operate 4-roll plate rolling machines capable of rolling thin plate through heavy plate up to 1-1/2" thick x 10' wide, including:

• Storage tank shell plate

• 1" diameter up to 4' diameter

Angle Rolling

Operate 3-roll angle rollers to produce:

• Leg-in and leg-out configurations

Additional Equipment Experience

Qualified candidates should be comfortable operating:

• Forklifts
• Overhead cranes
• Material handling equipment

Press brake experience is a strong plus.

Fabrication Support

While the primary focus of this role is burning and rolling operations, the ideal candidate is willing to assist with other fabrication tasks as needed.

Preferred, but not required:

• Basic fitting experience
• Tack welding ability
• General fabrication support

What We're Looking For

Required Qualifications

• 5–10 years of plate cutting and rolling experience preferred.
• Proven experience operating CNC burn tables independently.

• Ability to read and interpret fabrication drawings and work from prints.
• Experience working with carbon steel and/or stainless steel.
• Ability to work safely, efficiently, and with minimal supervision.
• Dependable, self-motivated, and team-oriented mindset.

The Ideal Candidate Is:

Safety-focused Highly experienced and production-driven Comfortable working independently Committed to quality workmanship Flexible and willing to assist where needed Experienced in heavy fabrication environment
