About the Role:

We are looking for an experienced and dynamic Tool Shop Manager to lead our tooling operations. In this role, you’ll oversee the design, development, and production of high-quality tooling, ensuring it meets our company’s standards for quality, cost-efficiency, and timely delivery.

  2. Lead the Team: Manage the day-to-day operations of the tooling department, set clear goals, and guide your team to meet customer requirements and deadlines.
  3. Process Innovation: Continually improve tooling processes, from mold design to production, ensuring we stay ahead of industry trends and consistently meet customer needs.
  4. Collaboration: Work closely with internal teams (Engineering, Sales, Manufacturing) and clients to ensure smooth project execution and deliver on all expectations. Support internal and external stakeholders through problem-solving and technical expertise.
  5. Optimize Outsourcing: Strategically manage relationships with external suppliers and vendors for mold design and builds, ensuring timely, cost-effective, and high-quality outcomes.
  6. Mentor & Develop: Foster the growth of your team members through coaching, training, and development to create a culture of excellence, leadership, and consistency.

What We’re Looking For:

  • Proven experience in tooling management, including mold design, machining, and outsourcing.
  • Strong leadership and communication skills, with a track record of successfully managing and developing a team.
  • Experience with continuous improvement efforts and process optimization.
  • In-depth knowledge of injection mold design and manufacturing processes.
  • Strong problem-solving ability and the ability to work collaboratively with cross-functional teams and clients.
  • Ability to recommend and implement new technologies, tools, and equipment to enhance tooling capabilities.
  • A commitment to delivering results on time and within budget.

What We Offer:

  • A collaborative and innovative work environment.
  • Opportunities to lead and make a direct impact on the success of the company.
  • Competitive salary and benefits.
  • A chance to develop your leadership skills and advance your career in tooling and manufacturing.

Work Environment:

This role will be split between an office and a tool room within a manufacturing plant. You’ll be expected to move around the office and manufacturing areas, with daily computer use and occasional lifting up to 50 lbs.
