Like fixing things, working with your hands, and seeing the results of your work?

Prime Machine is looking for a Tooling Technician who takes pride in making things right.

This isn't a desk job—and it isn't just cleaning tools. You'll inspect, troubleshoot, refurbish, repair, and prepare customer-owned tooling that goes directly back into production.

When you're finished with a tool, it needs to be ready to work.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Inspect, clean, refurbish, and prepare customer tooling for production
• Read drawings and verify tooling meets requirements
• Identify wear, damage, rust, defects, or missing components
• Replace hardware and make necessary repairs
• Perform incoming tooling ID counts and condition inspections
• Restore tooling to a clean, production-ready condition
• Prioritize jobs to meet customer schedules and deadlines
• Accurately track jobs and time
• Help train and support other team members
• Keep your work area safe, clean, and organized

YOU MAY BE A GREAT FIT IF YOU...

• Like working with your hands
• You enjoy repairing, rebuilding, troubleshooting, or figuring out how things work.
• Can read a print

You can read mechanical drawings and understand dimensions. Basic GD&T knowledge is a plus. Notice the details.

You catch the loose bolt, damaged surface, missing hardware, or problem someone else might overlook. You don't just complete a task—you make sure the job is actually done right. Our customers have deadlines. Quality matters, but so does getting the tooling back into production.

EXPERIENCE THAT COULD TRANSFER WELL

• Take ownership
• Know how to hustle without cutting corners

You don't necessarily need to come from a tooling shop. Experience in mechanical repair, machining, industrial maintenance, automotive/diesel, fabrication, assembly, equipment repair, or another hands-on mechanical trade could make you a strong candidate.

We're looking for mechanical aptitude, reliability, attention to detail, and a willingness to learn.

WHY PRIME MACHINE?

At Prime, the work you do matters.

The tooling you prepare doesn't sit on a shelf—it goes back into a customer's production environment. You'll be part of a team where craftsmanship, accountability, and getting the job done right still mean something.

We offer opportunities to learn new technical skills, work around machining and industrial equipment, and grow your career with Prime Machine.

THINK YOU'D BE GOOD AT THIS?

If you're the person who likes to fix it, improve it, and make sure it's right before it leaves your hands, we'd like to meet you.
