Precision Injection Mold Tooling Machinist

At Con Met’s Canton, NC facility, your craftsmanship keeps production humming. On our day shift, you’ll partner with a tight-knit Tooling team to build, tune, and sustain large plastic injection molds that power the Class 8 heavy truck market. If tight tolerances, clean finishes, and problem‑solving on complex tooling are your strengths, you’ll thrive here.

You start by reviewing the molding schedule, prioritizing insert changes and tool readiness. You interpret blueprints and CAD models, set up a manual mill or lathe, and bring a surface grinder online to achieve flawless surfaces. Throughout the day you verify dimensions with micrometers, calipers, and thread/plug gauges, documenting precision results. You’ll watch molds in operation to catch issues early, perform preventative maintenance, and complete daily crane and rigging inspections to keep the shop safe and efficient.
