Injection Molding Press Technician

A day in this role

Your shift starts at the molding cell, where you set up and run the injection molding press to produce plastic components. As parts come off the tool, you move seamlessly to finishing—trimming and deburring edges so every piece meets spec.

• Operate and monitor injection molding presses for consistent output
• Trim, deburr, and finish parts to precise tolerances
• Apply paint/finishes per customer specifications
