Injection Moulding Tool Technician
Location: Peterborough area
Salary: Competitive (depends on what you bring to the table)
If you know your way around an injection mould tool without Googling it… keep reading.
We’re working with a well-established plastics manufacturer who needs someone properly experienced in mould tool maintenance. This isn’t a “watch and learn” role. This is sleeves rolled up, strip it down, fix it, improve it, put it back into production and make it run better than before.
If you enjoy solving problems on the shop floor and taking pride in keeping production moving, this will suit you.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Planned preventative maintenance on injection mould tools
- Stripping, cleaning, inspecting, repairing and rebuilding tools
- Diagnosing tooling issues that are affecting production
- Supporting tool changeovers to keep downtime low
- Recording work accurately in the maintenance system
- Working safely and properly (no shortcuts)
What You Need (Non-Negotiables)
- Solid experience in injection mould tool maintenance or toolmaking support
- Strong mechanical ability — you understand how mould tools actually work
- Able to read and interpret engineering drawings without panic
- Nice to Have (But Not Essential)
- Toolmaking or mechanical engineering qualification
- Experience with glass-filled or high-wear materials
What You’ll Get
- Competitive salary based on experience
- A stable, long-term role in an established manufacturing environment
- Ongoing training and development
- A team that values competence over ego
What You Might Not Like
- It’s hands-on. You’ll get dirty.
- When production stops, pressure goes up.
- It’s not an office job — this is proper engineering.
- If you’re the kind of person who takes pride in tools running right and hates seeing repeat breakdowns… we should talk.
