In our fast-paced injection molding facility, you'll lead by example, working directly with our team to maintain and optimize our equipment. This role demands a strong blend of mechanical and electrical expertise, exceptional troubleshooting abilities, and a passion for minimizing downtime.

Responsibilities:

  • Lead and perform hands-on diagnosis, repair, and maintenance of injection molding machines, robotics, and auxiliary equipment (hydraulic, pneumatic, electrical).

  • Conduct root cause analysis (RCA) to resolve recurring equipment failures and drive continuous improvement.
  • Ensure accurate calibration and performance of machines to maintain process tolerances.
  • Collaborate with production teams to optimize equipment uptime and efficiency.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve mechanical, electrical, and process failures using strong analytical and diagnostic skills.
  • Adjust, repair, and improve hydraulic, pneumatic, electrical, and mechanical systems.
  • Provide technical guidance and mentorship to maintenance technicians.
  • Foster a culture of proactive maintenance, problem-solving, and safety.
  • Schedule, delegate, and execute maintenance tasks as a working manager.
  • Enforce safety procedures, including lockout/tagout (LOTO), and ensure compliance with OSHA and NFPA standards.
  • Conduct safety inspections and training.
  • Maintain on-call availability for urgent maintenance needs.

Qualifications:

  • Education: Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, or Industrial Engineering preferred; equivalent hands-on experience considered.
  • Experience: 5+ years of hands-on maintenance experience in an injection molding or plastics manufacturing environment.
  • Technical Skills:
    • Proven ability to diagnose and repair hydraulic, pneumatic, mechanical, and electrical systems in injection molding equipment.
    • Strong troubleshooting skills with various injection molding machines (e.g., Engel, Arburg, Nissei, Milacron).
    • Experience with PLCs, robotic systems, chillers, dryers, conveyors, and compressors.
    • Proficiency in reading and interpreting electrical schematics, hydraulic diagrams, and machine manuals.
  • Process Improvement: Familiarity with Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), Lean Manufacturing, and Six Sigma principles (a plus).
  • Physical Requirements: Ability to perform regular physical activity, including lifting, standing, and working with tools and machinery.

Benefits:

  • Retirement Account: 401(k) with matching
  • Health insurance
  • Dental insurance
  • Vision insurance
  • Life insurance
  • Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs)
  • Health Savings Accounts (HSAs)
  • Disability insurance; long term and short term
