Process Technician - Plastics Manufacturing

$62.4k - $83.2k
Full-time

Flexcraft

Flexcraft is growing—and we’re hiring experienced Process Technicians who know how to run molding equipment the right way.

If you’re currently working in plastics and want a more stable, structured environment where your work is respected and your skills are valued, this is a strong next step.

Why Experienced Techs Make the Move

  • $30–$40/hr based on experience (we hire for skill level)
  • Predictable 2-2-3 schedule with built-in time off
  • Every other weekend is a 3-day weekend
  • $3/hr night shift differential
  • Clean operation with maintained equipment and standard work
  • Team culture where people fix problems—not point fingers
  • Real opportunities to build skills and move up over time

What You’ll Be Working On

  • Injection molding & blow molding machines
  • Mold changes, startups, and process adjustments
  • Auxiliary equipment (material handling, grinders, etc.)
  • Quality measurement and process control

What You’ll Do

  • Monitor machines and keep production running efficiently
  • Perform mold changes, startups, and process adjustments
  • Troubleshoot equipment, tooling, and process issues
  • Catch problems early and correct them before they escalate
  • Work with Quality to verify product specs
  • Complete documentation and maintain clean, organized work areas
  • Support and mentor less experienced team members

What We’re Looking For

  • Experience in manufacturing (plastics strongly preferred)
  • Ability to perform setups, adjustments, and troubleshooting independently
  • Strong mechanical aptitude
  • Experience using calipers, micrometers, and gauges
  • Reliable, detail-oriented, and safety-focused
  • Someone who takes ownership of their machines and output

What Success Looks Like

  • Machines run efficiently with minimal downtime
  • Mold changes and startups are done right the first time
  • Problems are identified early and corrected quickly
  • Work areas remain clean, organized, and audit-ready

About Flexcraft

Flexcraft is a family-owned manufacturing company with over 50 years of experience and a growing nationwide presence.

Our Culture: We OWN IT

  • Ownership – We take accountability and drive results
  • Workmanship – We take pride in quality
  • Never Settle – We continuously improve
  • Integrity – We do the right thing
  • Team First – We win together

If you show up, take ownership of your machines, and do the job right—you’ll fit in here.
