Full Job Description

Position Summary

Ameristar is seeking a skilled, hands-on Tool and Die Team Member to support the repair, maintenance, setup, and improvement of stamping and punch press tooling. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working directly on Stamping Tool Design, Repair, and Creation at times collaborating with production teams, and ensuring tooling is ready to run efficiently and consistently.

This position works closely with punch press operators, other tooling staff, and Tool Room Manager to troubleshoot issues, maintain tooling, and support new and existing tools in production. While some exposure to tooling design concepts is helpful, this role will be exposed to both engineering, tool repair, and hands on creation.

Key Responsibilities

Perform hands-on repair, maintenance, and troubleshooting of compound, progressive, and form tooling
Support Tooling for punch press operations (60-ton to 400-ton range) by ensuring tooling is production-ready
Work directly with operators and production leadership to identify and resolve tooling issues
Have exposure with tool setups, changeovers, and adjustments
Diagnose root causes of tooling wear, failures, and inefficiencies
Support tool tryouts and help bring new or modified tools into production
Communicate tooling issues and improvement ideas with the tooling and design team
Maintain tooling inventory, repair records, and maintenance schedules
Assist in implementing preventive maintenance practices to reduce downtime
Support continuous improvement efforts related to tooling performance and production efficiency
Help train operators on proper tool handling and basic troubleshooting

Qualifications

Experience in tool and die repair, maintenance, or build in a stamping or punch press environment
Strong understanding of:
- Progressive, compound, and form tooling
- Punch press operations and production workflows
Solid mechanical aptitude with the ability to troubleshoot and repair tooling issues
Ability to work closely with production teams in a fast-paced environment
Basic familiarity with tooling design concepts or prints (CAD experience is a plus, not required)
Strong problem-solving, communication, and organizational skills

Work Environment & Growth Opportunities

High-mix, low-volume manufacturing environment with a wide variety of tooling applications
Close collaboration with:
- Tooling and design team
- Senior Punch Press Manager
- Production teams and plant leadership
Opportunity to grow into advanced tooling, process improvement, or design-related roles over time
Hands-on role with direct impact on production efficiency and product quality

Why Ameristar?

Ameristar provides a team-oriented manufacturing environment where hands-on problem solvers play a critical role in keeping production running. This role offers meaningful impact, variety in daily work, and opportunities to grow your skills in tooling and manufacturing.
