About KSM Stainless Steel Fabricators
Established in 1977, KSM Stainless Steel Fabricators Ltd. is a trusted custom metal manufacturing facility in Langley, BC. Specializing in high-precision stainless steel fabrication, architectural metalwork, commercial equipment, and custom sheet metal processing, we pride ourselves on exceptional craftsmanship, modern technology, and long-standing client relationships across the Lower Mainland.
Position Overview
We are looking for a detailed, technical Laser Programmer & Fabrication Estimator to join our team on-site in Langley. In this role, you will be responsible for evaluating client drawings, building accurate material and labor cost estimates, and generating optimized programs for our CNC lasers and press brake equipment.
Because this role involves direct interaction with shop floor operations, physical material checks, and real-time collaboration with machine operators, remote work is not possible.
Key Responsibilities
Laser & Press Brake Programming
Program, nest, and optimize processing files using TRUMPF TruTops Boost for our 2 TRUMPF CO2 lasers and TruBend press brake.
Develop 3D CAD models, flat pattern sheet metal unfoldings, and bend sequences using SolidWorks or equivalent CAD software.
Maximize material yield through efficient nesting strategies to minimize scrap and control raw material costs.
Maintain organized CAD databases, cut/bend schedules, and material stock tracking for smooth shop floor execution.
Work directly with machine operators and the Shop Supervisor on the floor to troubleshoot programming files, tooling setups, and cutting parameters.
