What We're Looking For

• Experience in toolmaking for plastic injection moulding, with the ability to design and develop tooling and process concepts.
• Confidence in moving seamlessly between technical design work (e.g., CAD) and hands‑on problem‑solving directly on the production line
• Familiarity with documentation & Compliance e.g. maintaining detailed logs of maintenance activities, safety documentations and performing risk assessments
• Experience with automated production technology and working on production machines in relation to implementing projects.
• Strong collaboration and communication skills with a proactive, solution focused mindset and the ability to engage colleagues at all levels
