About the Opportunity: Our client, a growing custom plastic injection molding manufacturer, is seeking a hands-on Process Technician / Production Supervisor to lead its overnight production team. This is not a desk job—it's an opportunity for someone who enjoys being on the production floor, solving problems, supporting operators, and ensuring production runs efficiently. This role is ideal for an experienced injection molding professional who has supervisory experience but still enjoys working alongside the team. You'll oversee production while also performing mold changes, processing adjustments, operating a hi-lo, assisting operators when needed, and keeping production moving safely and efficiently. If you're looking for a company where your technical expertise and leadership make a direct impact every day, this could be an excellent fit.

Supervise and support production employees during the overnight shift
Set up, troubleshoot, and optimize plastic injection molding processes
Perform mold changes and processing adjustments as needed
Drive a hi-lo (fork truck) to move molds, materials, and finished product
Assist operators by providing breaks and helping run machines when necessary
Monitor production quality, efficiency, and machine performance
Complete production paperwork and shift documentation
Troubleshoot production issues to minimize downtime
Promote a safe, productive, and team-oriented work environment
Work closely with management to meet production goals and customer expectations
What You BringHands-on experience with plastic injection molding processing
Previous supervisory or team leadership experience in a manufacturing environment
Experience changing molds and optimizing molding processes
Hi-lo (fork truck) experience
Strong mechanical troubleshooting skills
Willingness to work alongside the production team rather than strictly supervising
Ability to prioritize multiple responsibilities in a fast-paced manufacturing environment
Strong communication and leadership skills
Reliable work ethic and team-first attitude
What's Offered
Competitive hourly pay of $28.00–$30.00/hour, with flexibility for highly qualified candidates
Full-time overnight schedule
Stable opportunity with a growing manufacturer
Collaborative, team-oriented environment where leaders remain hands-onOpportunity to make a direct impact on production and operations

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
