Precision Sheet Metal Bending Machinist

Your craftsmanship can help feed a region

Imagine walking into a bustling commercial kitchen and knowing the stainless counters, panels, and fixtures were formed by your hands. At J&K Commercial Construction, that’s the reality. We build custom stainless-steel solutions for restaurants, hospitals, schools, casinos, correctional facilities, and commercial foodservice operations across the Pacific Northwest.

What success looks like

You take a set of fabrication drawings, map out bend sequences, select tooling, and program a CNC press brake for a short-run order. You verify bend allowances, measure twice, form once, and deliver parts that meet spec the first time. You’re the partner welders and fabricators rely on to keep high-mix, low-volume projects moving.

• Read/interpret shop blueprints; confirm dimensions and tolerances
• Perform one-off and short-run setups with precision
• Determine bend sequences and choose appropriate tooling
• Use precision measuring tools (tape measure, calipers, squares, protractors)
• Inspect parts for quality and accuracy; adjust and troubleshoot as needed
• Collaborate with welders, fabricators, and shop teams to meet deadlines
