Job Description

One of my top clients is a 100+ year-old, Chicago-based, fourth-generation mold-making facility, recognized as the Midwest's premier full-service plastic mold-maker. Known for innovation, they handle everything in-house—from mold design to plastic injection mold-making. They offer services in mold construction, repair, revisions, and texturing, which is the only service of its kind in the U.S..

This company has a great work culture, low turnover, and a tenured team. The facility is spacious, well-maintained, and air-conditioned, covering 50,000 sq. ft. They offer advancement opportunities, cross-training, and a variety of work. Benefits include a pension, 401K, and 70% health insurance coverage.

Candidates should have their own tools, such as micrometers and calipers, or they’ll know you aren’t the real deal. Shifts are day (7:00 AM—3:30/5:30 PM) and night (5:00 PM), with a 30-minute lunch.

Positions available include:

  • Mold Makers (Unigraphics 3-D CAD, MasterCAM, S.D.R.C. 3-D CAD, Solidworks)
  • CNC Operators (Fanuc controls, machines like Kitamura, OKK, Makino etc) 
  • CNC Programmers (Mastercam, Haas) 
  • Wire EDM Operators (one of their top needs) Must have Ingersoll or Charmilles EDM Machine experience)

Let me know if you'd like to learn more!
