Injection Moulding Tool Technician

📍 Location: Peterborough area

💰 Salary: £45000-50000

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.

Send your CV over and let’s have a proper conversation about it.

No fluff. Just facts.
