Job description

We are looking for a hands-on technician to help maintain and support our in-mold labeling (IML) plastic injection molding operations. The technician will assist with machine setup, troubleshooting, repairs, and preventive maintenance for our injection molding machines, label robots, and associated automation systems.

This is a key role to help reduce downtime and ensure our equipment is running safely and efficiently.

  • Monitor machines to ensure proper label placement and product quality
  • Assist operators and team leads with machine or label alignment issues
  • Adjust label sensors, vacuum levels, or robot arms when labels are misapplied

Maintenance & Troubleshooting:

  • Troubleshoot and repair mechanical, pneumatic, or robotic issues (e.g., vacuum loss, stuck labels, faulty sensors)
  • Report any recurring machine issues to maintenance manager
  • Replace worn-out components (hoses, fittings, sensors, cylinders)

Preventative Maintenance:

  • Clean sensors, filters, and moving parts on IML and molding machines
  • Grease and lubricate mold slides and robotic arms regularly
  • Inspect and tighten loose wires, air lines, and fittings

Documentation & Communication:

  • Record maintenance tasks in logbooks or computer system
  • Communicate clearly with maintenance team, leads, and supervisors on issues or needed repairs
  • Follow all safety and lockout/tagout procedures

What We're Looking For:

  • Basic mechanical knowledge (gears, motors, belts, sensors, air lines)
  • Comfortable using hand tools (wrenches, screwdrivers, Allen keys, etc.)
  • Some experience with injection molding, automation, or IML labeling is a big plus
  • Ability to read machine instructions and troubleshoot issues logically
  • Willing to work in a fast-paced manufacturing environment and respond to machine downtime quickly
  • Able to lift up to 50 lbs and work on your feet throughout the shift

Bonus Skills (Nice to Have):

  • Ability to read simple electrical or pneumatic diagrams
  • Experience using forklift or pallet jack (if needed for mold handling)


Benefits Include:

  • Biweekly pay
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • Paid holidays and PTO
  • Growth opportunities and on-the-job training
  • Friendly and supportive team environment
