Position Summary

Amcor’s Injection Molding Division is seeking an experienced Maintenance Technician with deep injection molding and electrical expertise. This is an injection-molding-specific maintenance role focused on keeping our Milacron injection molding presses and all associated auxiliary equipment running at peak performance.

The right person has a strong injection molding maintenance background, is genuinely skilled in electrical troubleshooting and repair, understands hydraulic systems on injection presses, and is comfortable working both independently and as part of a small, high-performing team.

Core Responsibilities

Injection Molding Press Maintenance & Repair

•    Diagnose, troubleshoot, and repair Milacron injection molding presses, with familiarity with Mosaic and Cemac 486 machine control systems strongly preferred

•    Perform emergency and unscheduled press repairs to minimize downtime; respond to production interruptions quickly and effectively

•    Develop and maintain a comprehensive Preventative Maintenance (PM) program for all injection molding presses — scheduling, executing, and documenting PMs to prevent failures before they occur

•    Maintain a running log of machine health, repair history, & upcoming maintenance needs for each press

Electrical Systems

•    Diagnose and repair electrical systems on injection molding machines and auxiliary equipment: control panels, wiring harnesses, sensors, proximity switches, solenoid valves, variable frequency drives (VFDs), and other components

•    Read, interpret, and work from electrical schematics and wiring diagrams

•    Repair or replace electrical components as needed; maintain organized records of replacements & changes

•    Ensure compliance with all electrical safety standards including LOTO procedures at all times

Hydraulic & Mechanical Systems

•    Troubleshoot and repair hydraulic systems on injection molding machines including pumps, valves, manifolds, cylinders, and seals

•    Perform mechanical repairs including bearings, belts, couplings, linkages, and general machine components

•    Perform machinist tasks as needed for fabricating or modifying parts to support equipment repair & upkeep

Auxiliary Equipment

•    Maintain, troubleshoot, and repair all auxiliary injection molding equipment including: temperature controllers / thermolators, resin dryers, chillers and mold cooling systems, material loaders and conveying systems, granulators/grinders, conveyors, robots and automation cells, and hot runner controllers

•    Ensure all auxiliary equipment is operating correctly and support the process tech team in diagnosing auxiliary equipment issues

PLC & Controls

•    Troubleshoot PLC-based machine control faults and work through diagnostic errors on Milacron control systems (Mosaic, Cemac 486)

•    PLC programming experience (modifying, updating, or backing up programs) is a significant plus; candidates without prior programming experience who have strong troubleshooting skills will be considered

•    Coordinate with corporate electrical maintenance resources on PLC-related projects as needed

Support & Coordination

•    Interface with Milacron and other equipment vendors for parts sourcing, technical documentation, and specialized repairs — with a goal of progressively reducing external service dependency

•    Support mold change process from a mechanical/connectivity standpoint: water connections, hot runner hookups, and press-side mechanical verification

•    Manage spare parts inventory for injection molding equipment; identify critical spares and maintain appropriate stock levels

•    Communicate machine condition, maintenance status, and upcoming PM needs proactively to the Lead Process Technic
