Blow Molding Maintenance Specialist

Job Description

Job Description

About the Role

Picture your day supporting a high-volume plastics operation : you arrive to walk the blow-mold floor, review overnight equipment notes, and prioritize preventive work that keeps our lines humming. You’ll tune, repair, and optimize blow molders, trimmers, palletizers, and related systems so production runs safely and efficiently—and always in compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) and regulatory standards.

A Day in the Life

You’ll move from a root-cause diagnosis on a stubborn air leak to a scheduled neck-tooling changeover, then swap hydraulic hoses before rebuilding a pump. A quick TIG / MIG weld, a fabricated bracket, and you’re on to verifying a palletizer adjustment. Along the way, you’ll coordinate with production, quality, and logistics, documenting what you do and sharing what you learn.

What You’ll Tackle

• Install, align, troubleshoot, and repair blow molders, trimmers, palletizers, baggers, and support equipment; may also operate blow mold or injection machines when needed.
• Perform mold and neck-tooling changeovers, pin changes, and other format conversions.
• Inspect, replace, and route pneumatic and hydraulic hoses; rebuild and replace valves and pumps.
• Execute preventive and corrective maintenance to keep equipment in peak processing condition.
• Weld, fabricate, and repair components and guarding to restore or improve equipment reliability.
• Troubleshoot to the root cause using sound judgment; request guidance from a Lead Industrial Maintenance Technician or Supervisor as needed.
• Collaborate frequently with cross-functional teams; responsibilities can vary by plant layout and equipment mix.
• Uphold safety policies, corporate standards, and all applicable regulations.
• Other tasks as assigned; assistance is provided on unusual problems and work is reviewed for sound professional judgment.

Note : Reasonable mandatory overtime may be required based on business demand.
