Job description

Be the difference between downtime and delivery.

Picture this: a press alarms mid-run, parts show short shots, and a customer order is on the line. You step in—verify material, tweak barrel temps, adjust injection velocity, confirm pack/hold, and fine-tune robotics. Scrap drops. The line stabilizes. That’s the impact you’ll make at Revere Plastics Systems.

  • PTO from day one + 10 paid holidays
  • Dental, vision, life, and disability plans
  • $150 safety boot allowance
  • Clean, climate-controlled facility
  • Real advancement opportunities in a take-action culture
What it takes
  • Proven experience setting molds and running injection molding processes
  • Working knowledge of resins and processing fundamentals
  • Preferably 2+ years in injection molding
  • Strong mechanical aptitude and hands-on troubleshooting ability
  • 3-axis robotics/programming familiarity is a plus

Physical requirements
