    Answer these questions—if it’s a yes, this role is for you

    • Can you strip down a production injection mold, spot the issue, and rebuild it to run right the first time?
    • When a hot runner or electrical fault appears, are you the one who finds, fixes, and verifies?

    • Are a surface grinder, drill press, and engine lathe tools you use with confidence?
    • Do you handle heavy tooling with an overhead crane and drive a forklift safely?
