Job Description
Injection Moulding Technician
A leading multinational manufacturer of packaging components is seeking a skilled Injection Moulding Technician to join their team at their site. This company boasts a long-standing reputation for manufacturing excellence, underpinned by industrial and technical prowess, high levels of automation, and advanced data exchange in its manufacturing processes.
Why This Role Stands Out:
Unlike larger moulding environments with huge mould shops and frequent tool/colour changes, this facility operates with a focused setup of 8 injection moulding machines. This streamlined approach results in fewer tool changes, allowing for more consistent production runs and a stable working environment.
Key Responsibilities:
* Operate Engel and Demag injection moulding machines and actuator assembly production lines on a rotational basis.
* Conduct quality control tasks per the cycle of control to ensure products meet customer specifications, taking full responsibility for accurate and timely checks.
* Perform comprehensive preventative and technical maintenance of production lines, including cleaning and lubrication of equipment and systems.
* Address breakdown repairs and reactive maintenance of automated assembly lines, packaging, and palletisation equipment.
* Assist in the installation of new equipment/machinery and modification of existing equipment.
* Operate and maintain the material conveyance system (Motan) and chiller systems.
* Troubleshoot and solve problems to tightly controlled and monitored standards, accurately documenting changes while adhering to quality standards.
* Engage in continuous improvement initiatives (Kaizen System) by designing, developing, and implementing ideas.
* Promote safe working practices and adhere to the company's clean-as-you-go policy.
* Support intermittent stock takes as required by the business.
* Undertake any other reasonable requests made by a Director/Manager of the organisation.
Key Skills and Experience:
* An industry-recognised injection moulding qualification.
* Mechanical and electrical experience is advantageous.
* Experience with pneumatic maintenance.
* Ability to read technical drawings and manuals.
* Proficiency in fault-finding to component level.
* Strong awareness of Health and Safety requirements.
* Understanding of quality and hygiene standards in manufacturing.
* Capability to work unsupervised outside office hours responsibly and safely.
* Analytical and computer skills.
* Willingness to develop personal skills in line with the company's progression route.
* Flexibility to provide additional cover for holidays, absence, training, etc.
* Ability to handle boxes of components and pallets up to 10kg in weight, adhering to HSE guidelines on manual handling.
Hours and Benefits:
Full-time, permanent position.
24/7 shift pattern: 2-day shifts (6 am to 6 pm), followed by 2-night shifts (6 pm to 6 am), then 4 days off.
