Are you an experienced Injection Molding Operator who coworkers already come to for help? Are you comfortable training newer operators, recognizing molding issues, and helping keep production moving?


You may be ready for your next step.


Micron Products is looking for an experienced Injection Molding Operator to step into a hands-on 3rd Shift Lead role. Previous Lead experience is not required. We're looking for someone who knows injection molding, works well with others, and is ready for an opportunity to grow into leadership.


You'll still work hands-on with injection molding equipment while helping coordinate the team, train operators, monitor production and quality, and serve as a resource on the production floor.


  • Work hands-on alongside Injection Molding Operators
  • Help coordinate employees and production priorities throughout the shift
  • Provide day-to-day direction and support to molding and assembly employees
  • Train and mentor new and existing operators
  • Monitor production, quality, scrap, and downtime
  • Recognize molding defects and production issues and escalate technical problems when needed
  • Ensure inspections and production documentation are completed
  • Communicate production issues and priorities during shift handoffs
  • Help maintain a safe, clean, and organized production environment

  • Qualifications


    You could be a great fit if you have:
  • 2+ years of hands-on plastic injection molding experience
  • Experience operating injection molding machines in a production environment
  • Knowledge of common molding defects and production issues
  • Experience performing inspections and completing production documentation
  • Strong communication and teamwork skills
  • An interest in training, mentoring, and helping other employees succeed

  • Previous Lead experience is NOT required.

    Experience as a Senior Molding Operator, Lead Operator, Trainer, or experienced Injection Molding Operator is a plus.


    Medical device manufacturing, ISO 13485, GDP/cGDP, and IQMS/DELMIAWorks experience are also helpful, but not required.


    This is an opportunity to take your injection molding experience and grow into a leadership role without leaving the production floor.


    You'll have the opportunity to:


  • Take the next step in your manufacturing career
  • Gain hands-on leadership experience
  • Train and mentor other employees
  • Work in a stable manufacturing environment
  • Continue developing your injection molding knowledge and skills

  • $24.00-$28.00/hour, based on experience
  • 3rd shift differential
  • Overtime opportunities
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Paid vacation, sick time, and holidays
  • Company-paid life insurance
  • Tuition reimbursement
  • Employee Assistance Program
  • Employee referral bonus program

  • If you're an experienced Injection Molding Operator who is dependable, knowledgeable, and already someone others turn to for help, we want to hear from you.


    Hands-on plastic injection molding experience is required.
