Process Setup & Optimisation: Support the setup of moulding processes, monitor production performance, and adjust settings under guidance to maintain quality and efficiency.
Troubleshooting: Identify and help resolve moulding issues such as flash, contamination, or slow cycles to minimise downtime and prevent reoccurrence.
Documentation: Complete production records, tool change logs, and process adjustment reports accurately and in line with company procedures.
Production Planning: Organise and prioritise tasks to meet daily production schedules, supporting minimal tool change times and smooth operations.
Collaboration: Work closely with other departments, including Tooling, Engineering, and Quality, to ensure efficient and effective moulding operations.
