This role is ideal for an experienced injection molding professional who has supervisory experience but still enjoys working alongside the team.

- Monitor production quality, efficiency, and machine performance
- Complete production paperwork and shift documentation
- Troubleshoot production issues to minimize downtime
- Promote a safe, productive, and team-oriented work environment
- Work closely with management to meet production goals and customer expectations
- What You BringHands-on experience with plastic injection molding processing
