Are you an experienced Plastic Injection Molding Operator who understands the molding process, recognizes common defects, and is someone coworkers already turn to for help?

Micron Products is looking for an experienced injection molding professional to join our team as a 3rd Shift Injection Molding Lead.

Hands-on plastic injection molding experience is required for this position. This is not an entry-level manufacturing or machine operator role.

You do not need previous Lead or Supervisor experience to be considered. If you have strong hands-on injection molding experience and are ready to take on more responsibility, train others, and help keep the shift running smoothly, this could be a great next step.

This is a hands-on working lead position. You will continue working directly with injection molding equipment and production while providing day-to-day support and direction to the team.
