Press-Side Injection Mold Tooling Specialist

From the moment the first press heats up, you’re the person who keeps molds running safely, efficiently, and making great parts. You live on the production floor—hands on with tools, hot runners, and problem-solving—so operators and process techs can count on you when minutes matter.

You start by answering a call for flash on a multi-cavity tool. You diagnose at the press, adjust, and get parts back to spec. Next, you pull a mold for a quick teardown, replacing worn pins and bushings, polishing critical surfaces, and confirming vents and parting lines are clean. A hot runner alarm later? You trace it to a failed thermocouple, swap it, verify wiring, and bring temperatures back in balance. Between emergencies, you log PMs and repair notes, brainstorm with Process Technicians and Quality about recurring defects, and prep for a new mold trial coming up on the APC line.
