Job description

About the Role

Step into a hands-on role where your expertise with plastic injection molding keeps production running smoothly and products meeting spec. As an Injection Molding Process Specialist, you will own setup, changeovers, and process tuning while partnering with maintenance, engineering, and quality to elevate reliability and output.

What a Day Looks Like
  • Review the production plan, prep molds and tooling, and execute precise changeovers using overhead cranes or hoists.
  • Dial in injection molding machines and auxiliary equipment, then perform startups to hit the day’s targets.
  • Continuously optimize cycle times, reduce scrap and downtime, and stabilize molding processes for consistent part quality.
  • Troubleshoot mold, machine, and process issues in real time and apply corrective actions that stick.
  • Record process parameters and maintain accurate setup and production documentation for traceability and repeatability.
  • Collaborate across maintenance, engineering, and quality to support reliability, performance, and product compliance.
  • Coach operators on proper processing and troubleshooting techniques to build a stronger team on every shift.
  • Keep the molding area organized and safe in alignment with 5S practices and site safety standards.
  • Contribute to continuous improvement efforts, including root cause investigations and new process development.
What You Bring
  • High school diploma or GED required; technical certification or an associate degree in manufacturing technology, plastics, or a related field is preferred.
  • 2–3 years of hands-on plastic injection molding experience with proven mold change proficiency.
  • Solid knowledge of thermoplastics, mold setup, tooling safety, and processing techniques.
  • Ability to read and interpret blueprints, setup sheets, and technical documentation.
  • Mechanical aptitude with strong diagnostic and troubleshooting skills.
  • Familiarity with scientific molding principles (RJG, Decoupled Molding) is a plus.
  • Willingness to work flexible schedules, including nights and weekends as needed.
Physical Requirements
  • Stand for extended periods and lift up to 50 lbs.
  • Manual dexterity and visual acuity for precise adjustments and inspections.
  • Safely operate cranes, hoists, and other mold-handling equipment.
