Full job description
Press Brake Operator | $21–$23/hr
PVS Metals (Owen Industries) – Carter Lake, IA | 1st Shift | Mon–Thu 4x10 + Friday OT as Needed | Full-Time
Bend Metal for a Living. Four Days On, Three Days Off.
PVS Metals is looking for a Press Brake Operator who takes precision seriously. This isn’t a button-pushing role — you’ll be reading blueprints, setting up tooling, dialing in tolerances, and turning flat metal into finished parts that meet exact customer specifications. If you know your way around a press brake and take pride in running it right, we want to talk.
The core schedule is Monday through Thursday, four 10-hour days. Friday overtime is scheduled as needed to meet production demands. At $21–$23/hr with OT on top when it runs, the pay is competitive for operators who bring real skill to the job.
What You’ll Do
Operate press brake machinery to bend, form, and shape metal components with precision per customer specifications
Read blueprints, work orders, and pick tickets to verify programs and set up tooling for each job and part
Demonstrate a solid understanding of print reading, geometric tolerances, and flat pattern layout
Check parts against calibrated devices to ensure accuracy of bends; report any deviation to supervision
Set up, load, and operate the machine; monitor quality throughout the run
Assist with packaging of finished parts per customer requirements
Inspect equipment status and report defects to maintenance promptly
Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work area at all times
Support and encourage fellow crew members
What We’re Looking For
Proven press brake experience — or strong background in metal fabrication with press brake exposure
Ability to read blueprints and interpret geometric tolerances and flat pattern layouts
Competent with basic dimensional measuring and precision measurement tools
Attention to detail and accuracy in setup, measurements, and operations
Ability to troubleshoot and make adjustments to maintain quality and pace
Commitment to safety, quality, and showing up ready to work
Compensation & Benefits
✅ $21–$23/hr based on experience
✅ Monday–Thursday, 4x10 schedule — Friday overtime as needed
✅ Health, Dental & Vision insurance
✅ Life/AD&D and Short & Long-Term Disability coverage
✅ 401(k) after 6 months
✅ PTO and paid holidays — accrual begins immediately
✅ On-the-job training to expand your skills and capabilities
Medical, Dental, Vision, and Disability benefits begin the 1st of the month after 30 days of employment.

Owen is the parent company of several steel processing and fabrication companies throughout the Midwest. Our oldest division, PVS Structures, was founded in Omaha, NE as Paxton & Vierling Iron Works in 1885, and focused primarily on our foundry and structural products. The company eventually rebranded as Paxton & Vierling Steel (PVS) in 1954, and our logo has worn the badge of PVS ever since. In the 1950s the ownership broke ground for a new steel facility in Sioux City, Iowa that would be named Missouri Valley Steel (MVS). Concurrently, Paxton & Vierling branched into Service Center Warehouse sales in the 1960s, and eventually split off as a separate entity when it moved into more advanced steel processing in the late 1990s. This company is now called PVS Metals and resides in a state of the art facility in Carter Lake, IA. Owen's next focus was the northern tier, and a new plant called Northern Plains Steel (NPS) was built in Fargo, ND that also specialized in warehouse and metals processing. Our latest iteration is also in the northern tier and is called Northern Plains Finishing (NPF) that focuses on powder coating for OEM and other similar customers. Owen, a private company powered by over 400 dedicated professionals, believes that the best projects are those that view the customer and supplier relationship as a partnership, and that proper execution is one in which all parties can be successful.
