    Job Description

    Your day at a glance

    You clock in and open ROC 40 to view your machine assignments. With a glance at the hourly scrap rate, you plan the shift and move between multiple injection molding machines, keeping each IMM running smoothly. You verify quality with precise measurements and checks, record production and downtime codes in IQMS, and adjust when you spot a trend. Moisture analysis confirms materials are ready; dryers get cleaned, molding cells are organized, and the next run is staged with the correct resin and packaging so handoffs are seamless.

    As parts come off the press, you assemble and package finished goods to the work standards outlined in the Green Binder. You handle secondary operations—pad printing, rework inspection, and other tasks—with care and accuracy. Throughout, you reference Production Folders, Quality Standards & Press Basics, and you keep the Production Work Order count sheet exact. When a machine hiccups, you troubleshoot specific issues to maximize utilization and keep output on target.

    How you’ll grow

    You’ll advance continuously through Routsis Molding Training, build IMM troubleshooting capability, and complete monthly safety modules.
