Compensation: $80,000–$100,000 annually
Employment Type: Direct Hire

Position Overview

We are seeking a highly experienced Tool & Die Supervisor to lead first-shift toolroom operations within a metal-stamping manufacturing environment. This individual will supervise tool and die makers, coordinate daily workloads, and ensure progressive stamping dies are built, repaired, maintained, and ready to support production.

Candidates must have a strong metal-stamping background and hands-on experience working with progressive stamping dies. Applicants without relevant stamping experience will not be considered.

Primary Responsibilities

Supervise, train, and direct tool and die makers, apprentices, and other toolroom personnel.
Assign daily work based on production priorities, die-repair needs, preventive maintenance schedules, and employee skill levels.
Oversee the construction, repair, maintenance, troubleshooting, and modification of progressive stamping dies.
Diagnose die and tooling problems, including dimensional issues, misfeeds, excessive wear, part defects, and press-performance concerns.
Support stamping production by responding quickly to tooling breakdowns and minimizing machine downtime.
Review blueprints, engineering drawings, specifications, tolerances, and GD&T requirements.
Coordinate die tryouts, new-tool launches, engineering changes, and production troubleshooting.
Ensure tooling projects and repairs are completed accurately and returned to production on schedule.
Work closely with production, engineering, quality, maintenance, and management to resolve tooling and manufacturing concerns.
Establish and maintain preventive maintenance schedules for dies, fixtures, and toolroom equipment.
Inspect completed tooling using micrometers, calipers, height gauges, indicators, comparators, and other precision measuring instruments.
Maintain accurate documentation for repairs, maintenance history, tooling conditions, replacement components, and labor hours.
Identify opportunities to extend die life, improve part quality, reduce scrap, and increase stamping efficiency.
Monitor employee productivity, workmanship, attendance, safety, and overall departmental performance.
Assist with interviewing, onboarding, training, evaluating, and developing toolroom employees.
Enforce company safety procedures, quality standards, and proper machine-operation practices.
Maintain a clean, organized, and safe toolroom.

Required Qualifications

Minimum of six years of hands-on tool and die experience.
Strong metal-stamping background is required.
Hands-on experience with progressive stamping dies is required.
Previous supervisory, leadership, or team-lead experience in a toolroom or stamping environment.
Advanced knowledge of die construction, repair, preventive maintenance, and troubleshooting.
Ability to troubleshoot stamping-related problems and identify the root cause of tooling and part-quality issues.
Advanced ability to read and interpret blueprints, engineering drawings, tolerances, and GD&T.
Experience operating manual mills, lathes, surface grinders, drill presses, and other toolroom machinery.
Experience using micrometers, calipers, indicators, height gauges, comparators, and other precision inspection equipment.
Knowledge of tool steels, heat treatment, punches, forms, inserts, springs, sensors, and die components.
Strong leadership, communication, organization, and problem-solving skills.
Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
Ability to work onsite during first shift.

Preferred Qualifications

Tool and Die Journeyman certification or completion of a recognized apprenticeship program.
Supervisory experience within a high-volume metal-stamping facility.
Experience with CNC machining, wire EDM, sinker EDM, welding, and CAD/CAM systems.
Experience with new-die development, die tryouts, and production launches.
Knowledge of lean manufacturing, continuous improvement, root-cause analysis, and preventive maintenance programs.
Experience using an ERP, CMMS, or tooling-management system.

Physical Requirements

Ability to stand and walk throughout the workday.
Ability to bend, reach, climb, and work safely around production machinery.
Ability to lift and move tooling components safely with or without mechanical assistance.
Ability to wear all required personal protective equipment, including safety glasses and safety shoes.

Pay: $80,000.00 - $100,000.00 per year
