Job description

Shape What’s Next in Plastics MaintenanceAt Revere Plastics Systems, we build more than parts—we build careers. Our McPherson team thrives on collaboration, continuous learning, and practical innovation in custom injection molding. If you love solving complex equipment challenges and improving how things run, you’ll fit right in.A Day in the LifeYou start your shift partnering with engineering and maintenance to evaluate a molding cell. A hydraulic press is drifting off-spec, a robot EOAT needs a tweak, and a secondary trimmer is flagging a fault. You methodically diagnose, pull prints, verify I/O, adjust programs, and get production back on track—safely and efficiently. Before the day ends, you log improvements to the manufacturing method and plan a small retrofit that will save setup time next week.What You’ll DoTroubleshoot and repair hydraulic and electric injection molding machines, robots, and secondary equipment.Partner with engineering to refine, evaluate, and enhance manufacturing methods and uptime.Independently triage issues and drive root-cause fixes with minimal supervision.Work with robotics and programmable controls, including reviewing, troubleshooting, and modifying programs using the appropriate tools.Support plant machinery across electronics, hydraulics, and pneumatics.Interpret electrical and mechanical drawings to guide diagnostics and repairs.Design and fabricate EOAT; install and fine-tune valve gate systems.Stay current with evolving technology through continuous education.Communicate clearly across teams and assist as needed with overtime.QualificationsHigh School Diploma or GED required; a technical degree is a plus.3–5 years of experience troubleshooting injection molding equipment and secondary systems preferred.Hands-on experience with robotics and programmable controls strongly preferred.Industrial electrical knowledge or experience preferred.Background in plant machinery, electronics, hydraulics, and pneumatics is a plus.Ability to read electrical and mechanical schematics is desired.EOAT design/fabrication capability is a plus; valve gate design/installation proficiency is a plus.Willing and able to obtain certification on forklift (sit-down and stand-up) and scissor lift.Must be willing to pursue ongoing training to stay current with technology.Excellent communication skills.Able to work overtime when needed.Must wear PPE: gloves, safety glasses, and safety shoes.Physical DemandsWork independently with limited supervision.Lift, move, push, and pull up to 40 pounds frequently.Bend, stoop, stand, sit, and walk for up to 8 hours to perform all essential job functions with or without reasonable accommodation.Remain in a stationary position 50% to 100% of the time.Ascend/descend forklifts and standing lifts, trailers, steps, and ladders.Turn your head in the direction of travel and look upward as needed; seat belt must be worn during forklift operation per OSHA regulation.Comfort working at heights.Core ProficienciesEquipment TroubleshootingFacilities Maintenance ExperienceMechanical Troubleshooting SkillsHydraulics ExperienceElectrical InstallationElectrical RepairHVAC TroubleshootingHydraulic Systems & ComponentsEquipment Repair & MaintenanceInjection Molding ExperienceJoin a team that prizes craftsmanship, teamwork, and continuous improvement—every day.
