  • Support resin trials, new equipment installs, and process validation activities.
  • Create and maintain process sheets and setup standards for molds and tooling.
  • Perform light and preventative maintenance on molds, fixtures, and secondary equipment.
  • Verify material moisture content prior to startup and run to established specifications.
  • Train and mentor Operators and Supervisors on best practices, standards, and troubleshooting methods.

  • Strong computer, documentation, and communication skills (verbal and written).
Work environment & physical demands
  • Split time between office and manufacturing floor.
  • Lift up to 50 lbs, climb ladders up to 15 feet, and stand for more than 8 hours in hot, noisy, and dirty conditions.
