Step into the heart of production
As a Rubber Molding Press Technician, you’ll start your shift by reviewing the day’s build plan, staging materials, and preparing equipment for efficient, safe runs. You’ll set up and operate molding presses, coordinate cycles with autoclaves, and support finishing steps in sand blasting and paint. Throughout the day, you’ll verify part quality with micrometers and calipers, document machine settings and output, and make adjustments that keep quality high and waste low.

- Configure, operate, troubleshoot, and perform routine care on molding and finishing equipment: presses, rubber extruders, autoclaves, sand blasters, and paint booths.
- Run in-process inspections and monitor production output; use precision tools (micrometers, calipers) to confirm dimensions and consistency.
- Follow company procedures, industry regulations, and best practices to uphold safety and quality requirements at all times.
- Record production data, including machine parameters, throughput, quality notes, and performance trends.
- Drive and participate in continuous improvement to boost machine performance, reduce scrap, and enhance efficiency.
