Own the process. Keep production moving.

At Revere Plastics Systems, you’ll be the person who makes sure our injection presses start right, run right, and stay right. Your fingerprints will be on every successful startup, every rescued cycle, and every quality win.

A day in this role

  • Arrive to a clean, climate-controlled floor and review the production plan.
  • Set molds and bring presses online—dialing in parameters for first-piece approval.
  • Chase down root causes when something drifts: short shots, flash, dimensional shifts—you find it and fix it fast.
  • Tune processes to reduce scrap, stabilize cycles, and increase uptime.
  • Program and fine-tune robotics (3-axis experience a plus) to maximize part handling and consistency.
  • Support quick, efficient mold changes to improve throughput.
  • Jump on quality and production calls in real time; document changes and lock in standards.
  • Coach operators on best practices and safe operation; keep your area organized and audit-ready.
