We're looking for an experienced Injection Mould Setter to join our night shift team. This is primarily a hands-on setting role, with some responsibility for supporting and overseeing the night shift team when required.

Key Responsibilities

  • Set, adjust and optimise injection moulding machines to achieve efficient, high-quality production.
  • Carry out mould changes and process adjustments to minimise downtime.
  • Monitor product quality and resolve any process or quality issues.
  • Troubleshoot machine faults and escalate engineering issues where necessary.
  • Complete production and shift documentation accurately.
  • Support continuous improvement by helping reduce scrap, downtime and cycle times.
  • Assist with training and supporting operators on shift.
  • Help ensure health & safety procedures are followed at all times.
  • Act as the main point of contact on nights when required.

About You

  • Previous experience setting injection moulding machines is essential.
  • IMT Level 3 Setter qualification (or equivalent setting experience) preferred.
  • Experience working in a manufacturing environment.
  • Some supervisory or team-leading experience would be beneficial, but this is not the main focus of the role.
  • Good problem-solving skills and a quality-focused approach.
  • Reliable, organised and able to work independently on night shift.
