Who We Are

We are a stable and growing 100% employee-owned manufacturing organization specializing in heavy industrial solutions. Our facility is currently expanding its production capabilities with the installation of new high-pressure equipment to meet increasing market demand. We offer a collaborative, safe, and high-performance culture where every employee has a stake in our success.

Injection Mold Operator Role

The Mold Operator is responsible for running high-pressure injection molding machines and large presses to create flat and round industrial products. This role involves the physical assembly of molds and the precise timing of heating and curing cycles.

Responsibilities

• Operate large-scale presses and high-pressure injection (HPI) molding machines
• Load raw rubber materials into molds and monitor specialized heating and curing cycles
• Assemble and disassemble molds according to specific timing requirements to maintain production flow
• Use overhead cranes to manage the weight of heavy molds and raw materials
• Perform finishing tasks such as grinding, buffing, and cleaning product threads
• Collaborate with cross-shift team members to ensure a constant production flow
• Monitor pressure and temperature gauges to ensure product integrity and quality

About You

• Previous experience with rubber molding or injection molding is highly preferred (experience with plastics is also a plus)
• Strong background in heavy industrial manufacturing or high-physicality labor (e.g., construction or landscaping)
• Ability to lift at least 50 lbs and work comfortably near heat-generating equipment
• Prior experience with overhead crane operation is a significant advantage
• Proven ability to work at a steady, "time-paced" environment where timing is critical to the next shift
• Ability to pass a pre-employment background check, physical, and a 90-day hair follicle drug screen

Next Steps

If you are a reliable, motivated individual with a strong mechanical aptitude and a desire to grow your career, we would like to hear from you.

Additional Information

• Physical Demands: This is a high-physicality role requiring constant movement, lifting up to 50 lbs, and working in a warm manufacturing setting.
