Position Overview

The Set up II (PMT) is responsible for the complete end-to-end changeover, technical configuration, process stabilization, and basic troubleshooting of plastic injection molding machines and related auxiliary equipment.
Combining mechanical precision with analytical problem-solving, this role retrieves tooling, installs complex molds across diverse press tonnages, synchronizes auxiliary automation, and fine-tunes process parameters (temperatures, pressures, cycle times) to ensure defect-free first-piece approval and continuous run efficiency.

Key Responsibilities

Mold Installation, Teardown & Material Handling

Safely install and pull molds from injection molding presses ranging from small to high tonnages using clamps, bolts, or magnetic platens.

Stage, stage out, and transport tooling, mold components, and equipment using overhead cranes, hoists, powered industrial lift trucks (fork trucks), and heavy mold carts.

Complete full line changeovers by removing prior setups, purging barrels, cleaning and greasing tooling, and tagging/returning all tools and molds to dedicated storage bays.

Technical Hookups & Auxiliary Automation Setup

Connect and verify all mechanical interfaces: multi-zone cooling water lines, hydraulic cores, pneumatic knockouts, and electrical connections (limit switches, hot runner cables).

Configure and synchronize auxiliary floor equipment, including thermolators (mold temperature controllers), resin dryers, material hoppers, vacuum loading systems, granulators, part conveyors, and robotic end-of-arm tooling (EOAT).

Handle engineering-grade resins, colorants, mold lubricants, solvents, and purging compounds in compliance with standard operating procedures.

Process Stabilization & First-Piece Quality

Retrieve and program machine controller recipes from master setup sheets; independently calculate and adjust parameters including pack/hold pressures, barrel zone temperatures, injection speeds, and clamp tonnage.

Troubleshoot visual and structural defects (e.g., flash, short shots, splay, sink marks, warpage) to bring cycles to stabilized, repeatable run conditions.

Coordinate directly with Quality Assurance/QPA to inspect initial production parts against technical drawings and dimensional tolerances using precision instruments (calipers, micrometers, depth gauges) before signing off for full production.

Equipment Reliability, Safety & Team Coordination

Perform pre-flight inspections on safety interlocks, gate switches, and E-stops; strictly enforce Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures.

Practice preventative and "at-press" maintenance under TPM standards, flagging machine deviations, hydraulic leaks, or tooling wear to supervisors and tooling engineers.

Provide intermittent work guidance, setup instructions, and standard operating training to machine operators to maintain line continuity.

Maintain clean work cells and staging areas in accordance with 5S and WCM frameworks.

Qualifications & Skills

Minimum Requirements

Education: High School Diploma or GED equivalent.

Experience: 2+ years of hands-on experience in a plastic injection molding environment, specifically focused on mold setting, changeovers, and basic process troubleshooting.

Technical Skills:

Demonstrated ability to read and interpret setup sheets, part blueprints, inspection reports, and hydraulic/pneumatic connection schematics.

Working math capability: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division involving fractions and decimals.

Familiarity with precision measurement tools (calipers, micrometers, depth gauges).

Safety & Certifications: Ability to obtain or hold current certifications in Overhead Crane operation, Forklift/PVO, and Lockout/Tagout (LOTO).

Preferred Qualifications

Associate Degree in a technical or industrial discipline, or formal vocational/trade school coursework in plastics processing, robotics, or industrial maintenance.

Direct experience with RJG Scientific Molding principles, PLC/machine control navigation, or robot teach pendant setup.

Root-cause troubleshooting experience (5-Why, Fishbone) applied to machine downtime or defective parts.

Physical Demands & Working Conditions

Mobility & Strength: Continuous standing/walking on concrete surfaces for 8- to 12-hour shifts. Frequent lifting and carrying of items weighing 5 to 35 lbs; occasional lifting and pushing/pulling of heavy components up to 50–60 lbs.

Dexterity & Agility: High manual dexterity for connecting small fittings, threaded bolts, and electrical connectors. Frequent climbing of stairs and ladders, bending, squatting, and reaching into tight press tie-bar envelopes.

Environment: Industrial production floor subject to elevated temperatures near heated barrels and platens, moving mechanical components, and moderate-to-high noise levels (PPE provided and required).
