A night in the life

As the plant winds down for the evening, you arrive ready to keep production running. You begin with a preventative walk-through, verifying temperatures, pressures, and cycle times on injection molding presses and checking auxiliary systems. A press signals a fault; you step in—lockout/tagout, disassemble and inspect key components, mic critical surfaces, replace worn bearings, align drives, and bring the cell back online. Mid-shift, you partner with a senior mechanic to plan a rebuild, review parts lists with your supervisor, and coordinate with a contractor about an upcoming equipment move. Before sunrise, you finish an alignment using precision instruments and document the corrective actions that kept throughput on target.

What you’ll do

• Install, service, and modify injection molding presses and auxiliary production equipment under general supervision.
• Troubleshoot operating issues; disassemble, inspect, and overhaul molding machine components to restore performance.
• Fit and align precision mechanisms, bearings, and drives; lay out and install molding machines and related equipment.
• Support major plant installs and expansions with contractors; fabricate or alter replacement parts as needed.
• Use precision measuring tools to verify alignment and tolerances; escalate complex rebuilds for additional guidance.

What you bring

• Proven injection molding maintenance background (required).
• 3+ years of maintenance experience in a manufacturing setting.
• Solid understanding of mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, and pneumatic systems.
• Hands-on experience with 24VDC through 480VAC three-phase systems.
• Demonstrated ability to diagnose and repair presses and auxiliary equipment.
