Willingness to be hands-on and actively involved on the production floor

The ideal candidate is someone who understands injection molding, knows how to troubleshoot problems, can hold a team accountable, and isn't afraid to jump in and help when production needs it.

We're looking for a leader—not someone who simply watches the clock and fills out paperwork.

If you have injection molding experience, know how to lead a production team, and take pride in keeping a manufacturing operation running smoothly, we'd like to hear from you.
