The ideal candidate will be responsible for setting up, operating, monitoring, and troubleshooting plastic molding machines to produce high-quality plastic parts and containers according to specifications.

Key Responsibilities:

● Set up and operate injection molding and blow molding machines, including two-

machine operation.

● Adjust machine settings such as temperature, pressure, and cycle times for optimal

production efficiency and product quality.

● Perform mold changes, machine start-up, and shut-down procedures.

● Conduct quality inspections on finished products for dimensions, appearance, and

functional integrity.

● Monitor equipment for signs of wear, malfunction, or misalignment and perform basic

maintenance or repairs.

● Maintain accurate production records, including downtime, scrap, and material usage.

● Comply with safety standards, Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), and company

SOPs.

● Assist with troubleshooting molding issues such as flash, short shots, warping, or bottle

defects (e.g., ovality, stress cracks).

● Work with engineering and quality teams to optimize production processes and

implement continuous improvements.

● Keep work area clean and organized in accordance with 5S practices.

Qualifications & Skills:

● 2–5 years of hands-on experience operating HDPE blow molding machines, 2-step

stretch blow molding (SBM) systems (such as Nissei ASB, Sidel, or similar), and

injection molding machines (e.g., Engel, Husky).

● Strong mechanical aptitude and ability to troubleshoot and resolve machine issues.

● Understanding of plastics processing, particularly HDPE, PET, and PP.

● Familiarity with quality control procedures and tools (calipers, gauges, etc.).

● Ability to read and interpret technical drawings, production orders, and safety

documentation.

Physical Requirements:

● Ability to stand for extended periods, lift up to 50 lbs, and work in a manufacturing

environment with moderate noise and heat.

● Willingness to work rotating shifts, weekends, or overtime as required.

Preferred Experience:

● Experience with 2-step SBM machines (preform reheating and stretch-blow processes).

● Working knowledge of mold setup, robotic part removal, and automation systems.

● Preventive maintenance experience or minor repair skills.

● Bilingual (English/Spanish) is a plus in some facilities.
