Injection Molding Setup & Process Technician

Is this you?

• Can you rig a mold, tie in hydraulics, water, and electrical, and get a press to cycle at defined parameters?
• Do you enjoy dialing in a start-up with auxiliaries humming and processes running inside their window?
• When a cycle drifts or an automation step hiccups, do you go straight to structured, basic troubleshooting?
• Are you the type who inspects parts up front—before they reach quality—because first-pass yield matters?
• Will you pull a mold safely and cleanly when preventive maintenance is scheduled?
• Do you live safety, not just sign the form?
