Steel Rule & Rotary Die Maker

Triangle

Job Description

Job Description

Job Title: Steel Rule & Rotary Die Maker
Company: Triangle Dies & Supplies (DFC Manufacturing Group)
Location: Batavia, IL
Job Type: Full-time | Hourly (Non-exempt)

About Triangle Dies & Supplies

Triangle Dies & Supplies is a long-standing manufacturer of steel rule cutting dies and die supplies that supports packaging and converting customers with specialized tooling solutions. We're known for delivering responsive service, strong product knowledge, and dependable turnaround times. As part of the DFC Manufacturing Group, we offer stability, growth, and the support of a broader manufacturing network.

About the Role

This is a skilled trade role for someone who enjoys precision work, tools, and craftsmanship. Our Die Makers build and repair steel rule cutting dies used in rotary and flatbed die-cutting applications for packaging and converting customers. If you've built dies before-or you're a strong hands-on manufacturing tech ready to grow-this can be a great long-term career.

What You'll Do
  • Construct, assemble, and repair steel rule cutting dies and related tooling to customer/job specifications

  • Cut, bend, and notch steel rule using manual and automated equipment (example: Serviform/EasyBender or similar)

  • Insert, grind, and secure rule into die boards to meet tolerance, fit, and alignment requirements

  • Read and interpret CAD drawings, blueprints, and job tickets

  • Rubber dies and operate rubbering/blanking/stripping equipment as needed

  • Make revisions and modifications to existing dies based on updated specifications

  • Inspect materials and finished dies; correct nonconformances when found

  • Perform preventative maintenance (cleaning, adjustments, minor repairs)

  • Track work, time, and job updates in computer-based systems

  • Maintain tool organization and a clean, safe workstation

  • Communicate clearly with CAD, production, and leadership to clarify specs and solve problems

  • Support training/mentoring of less experienced team members as assigned

Qualifications
  • High school diploma or equivalent required

  • 1–3 years of die making, die cutting, or related manufacturing experience preferred

  • Ability to interpret blueprints/CAD drawings/specifications accurately

  • Comfort using rule bending equipment and hand tools

  • Strong attention to detail and pride in quality workmanship

  • Basic computer skills; familiarity with ERP/job tracking systems is a plus

  • Team-oriented, dependable, and committed to safety and continuous improvement

Work Environment / Physical Requirements
  • Manufacturing environment; moderate-to-high noise and dust; PPE required

  • Standing on concrete for extended periods; frequent bending/stooping

  • Repetitive hand/arm motions with hand tools

  • Lifting up to 65 lbs (over 65 lbs with assistance)
