Injection Mold Changeover Technician

ConMet Plastics
Canton, NC

Step into the Night Shift and Keep Production Moving

At ConMet’s Canton facility, you’ll join a tight-knit technical team in our Molding department. You’ll be the hands-on expert who swaps out injection molds so we can produce plastic components for the heavy truck market—safely, precisely, and on time.

Schedule: 12-hour night shift, Monday–Thursday, 7:00 PM–7:30 AM.

A Day in the Life

Your shift begins with a review of the production plan and a quick equipment check. You rig molds using an overhead crane, position them with a forklift, and bring machines online by connecting water, hydraulics, pneumatics, and electrical utilities. You verify parameters for the correct tool, run first-piece checks, and keep everything aligned to plant and OSHA standards. If something isn’t right, you flag it fast and collaborate with your supervisor to resolve it.

What You’ll Handle

  • Install and remove molds on injection molding machines
  • Configure machines to the correct mold and specified parameters
  • Connect all required utilities: water, hydraulic, pneumatic, and electrical
  • Operate and inspect overhead cranes and forklifts for safe, proper function
  • Escalate unresolved equipment or process issues to your supervisor
  • Follow all plant safety rules and OSHA guidelines

What You Bring

  • Strong mechanical aptitude
  • Foundational understanding of hydraulics
  • Proficiency operating overhead cranes and forklifts
  • Ability to frequently lift up to 50 lbs
