For more than 65 years, Manor Tool & Manufacturing has built a reputation for precision, craftsmanship, and doing the job right the first time. We're a family-owned shop where the people on the floor are the heart of the business. We're hiring a self-motivated Set-Up Technician to join our Production team.

If you know your way around progressive and compound dies, take pride in a clean, dialed-in setup, and like keeping production moving, we want to hear from you.

Why You'll Love Working Here

• A modern press floor with 30+ presses ranging from 40 to 400 tons, including a 330-ton servo press.
• Real ownership of your setups - you run the job from tooling to first-article samples.
• A team that invests in its people and supports you in growing your skills.
• A predictable first-shift schedule - home for dinner.
• $3,000 SIGN-ON BONUS AFTER 90 DAYS!

What You'll Do

• Set up progressive and compound tooling and dies in punch presses ranging from 40 to 400 tons.
• Set up secondary fixtures for drilling, countersinking, and reaming operations.
• Prepare tooling for production runs - starting the strip, installing shakers, chutes, and air blowoffs, and submitting first samples to Quality.
• Program presses using Wintriss / DiPro controls.
• Pull tooling from the press and move it to the storage rack or toolroom using a forklift.
• Perform lockout-tagout procedures when applicable.
• Troubleshoot potential setup issues before bringing in toolroom personnel.
• Keep your work areas clean and organized.
• Take an active part in our safety initiatives.

• Ability to use and understand all measuring devices and gages, including the calibration process.
• Basic English reading and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to pass our company ISO, English, and Math assessments.

Nice to Have

• 3+ years of press setup experience.
• A current forklift certification.
• Hands-on experience with Wintriss / DiPro press controls.

Work Environment & Physical Requirements

• Ability to occasionally push, pull, lift, or carry up to 50 pounds.
• Vision of 20/40 (with or without correction) and the ability to communicate clearly on the floor.
• Stamina to work all assigned hours, including overtime as needed.
