Injection Molding Tooling Changeover Specialist

Injection Molding Tooling Changeover SpecialistA day in the life

When the lights dim and the lines come alive, you arrive ready to keep production moving. You roll up to your first press, verify the schedule, and begin a precision tooling changeover. By the time most people are asleep, you've set up multiple presses to run parts, checked first-off quality, and tuned the floor so 12-24 machines stay on track. Before handing off, you clean the dies and leave every workstation ready for the next shift.
