Plastic Injection Tooling Machinist (Mold Assembly & PM)

Specialized Talent Acquisition Recruiting Team (START)

Rochester, MI

Job Description

Answer these questions—if it’s a yes, this role is for you

Can you strip down a production injection mold, spot the issue, and rebuild it to run right the first time?
When a hot runner or electrical fault appears, are you the one who finds, fixes, and verifies?
Do you build clean, reliable hydraulic and water lines—and trust your own workmanship?
Are a surface grinder, drill press, and engine lathe tools you use with confidence?
Do you handle heavy tooling with an overhead crane and drive a forklift safely?
Do you thrive when given a problem and the autonomy to solve it?

If you nodded along, START would like to meet you.

Role snapshot

As our Plastic Injection Tooling Machinist, you’ll own mold upkeep: from preventive maintenance and repairs to troubleshooting electrical and hot runner systems. You’ll fabricate new hydraulic and water circuits, then bring everything back together for reliable production.

Background we expect

2–3 years (minimum) of Mold Maker experience in production injection mold environments.
Track record of disassembly/reassembly, repair, and PM excellence.
Diagnostic skill on hot runner and electrical systems, plus hands-on repair.
Ability to manufacture and install hydraulic and water lines.
Proficiency on a surface grinder, drill press, and engine lathe.
Experienced with overhead crane operation and forklift driving.
Self-starter who works effectively with minimal supervision.

Work schedule perks

We offer a night shift premium and weekend shift premiums, and we can accommodate some flexible schedule arrangements.
