• Reviewing the production schedule and recommending changes to job sequencing
• Updating setup sheets and helping maintain accurate documentation

How you will be making an impact

• Providing guidance and direction on maintaining molds, and training other employees on new molds, tools, and mold service techniques
• Reviewing new tooling with experienced toolmakers and related prints to build familiarity with tooling
• Keeping production running smoothly by ensuring tooling issues are caught, tracked, and resolved before they become downtime
• Supporting the toolroom team's collective knowledge by documenting trends and mentoring others

About you

• High school diploma or equivalent
• Strong knowledge of diecast molds and processes
• Able to prioritize multiple tasks on a daily basis
• Good written and oral communication skills
• Able to operate lift equipment
