TRS Staffing Solutions

Job Description

Job Description

We are seeking a skilled Mold Tool Maker to maintain, repair, and modify our inventory of over 100 active plastic injection molds. In this role, you will not build new molds from scratch.

  • Engineering Changes: Modify existing mold components and details to reflect engineering design updates.
  • Spotting & Fitting: Spot in and fit new molds, core/cavity inserts, and replacement details to ensure precise shut-offs.
  • Manual Machining: Set up and operate manual toolroom machinery including mills, lathes, and grinders (no CNC operation required).
  • Precision Tooling Welding: Perform high-precision TIG and micro-laser welding to repair parting lines, gates, and worn tool details.
  • Hand Bench Work: Execute precise hand polishing, fitting, deburring, and bench assembly of complex mold components.
  • Preventative Maintenance: Perform routine mold teardowns, cleanings, inspections, and lubrication per production schedules

Required Qualifications

  • Experience: Minimum 3–5 years of dedicated experience in plastic injection mold repair or toolmaking.
  • Welding Skills: Proven proficiency in both TIG welding and precision laser welding for tool steels.
  • Machining Skills: Strong competency operating manual toolroom equipment (mills, lathes, surface grinders).
  • Technical Literacy: Ability to read and accurately interpret 2D engineering drawings, blue prints, and tool schematics.
  • Precision Measurement: Expert use of precision measuring instruments including micrometers, calipers, indicators, and height gauges.
  • Problem Solving : Strong mechanical troubleshooting skills to identify tool wear, flashing issues, and parting line defects.

Physical Requirements

  • Ability to safely lift and maneuver heavy mold components up to 50 lbs.
  • Excellent hand-eye coordination and manual dexterity for prolonged, intricate bench work.
