* Clean and inspect tool faces and platens, replacing minor parts such as O-rings, sensors, and hoses
* Run machines safely and efficiently in line with standard operating procedures, monitoring cycle times and performance
* Troubleshoot process issues, optimise cycle times, and resolve material feed or drying problems
* Coordinate mould sampling for new tools and process validations, working closely with Toolmakers and other Setters
* Maintain a clean, organised, and safe work cell in line with housekeeping standards
About You
