Job Description

Join MMI Engineered Solutions as a Plastic Injection Molding Equipment Maintenance Specialist

Imagine starting your shift with a quick scan of the production floor, listening for the subtle signs of a well-tuned line. You review preventive maintenance tasks in IQMS, prioritize a hydraulic leak on a press, and then shift to troubleshooting a sensor fault on an auxiliary unit. Before lunch, you’ve dismantled a subassembly for inspection, verified wiring against schematics, and returned the machine to service—safely and on time. That’s a typical day in this role: keeping complex equipment reliable so the team can deliver quality parts without interruption.
