Injection Mould Setter

About the role

Berry Global manufactures plastic packaging, closures and engineered components for consumer, healthcare and industrial customers. The Leamington Spa operation is a high-volume injection-moulding environment where machine availability, tool-change discipline and first-off quality decide whether production hits plan. This Injection Mould Setter role covers tool changes, process set-up and troubleshooting across a mixed fleet including Engel and Arburg machines. You'll work with production, quality and maintenance teams to bring tools on safely, validate first-offs and hand over a stable cycle to operators. The role needs someone who understands the craft behind moulding: temperature profiles, clamp force, shot size, cooling, material drying and the small parameter changes that turn scrap into repeatable output. It is hands-on, technical and very visible on the shop floor.

Responsibilities

• Plan and execute mould changes safely within target changeover windows
• Set barrel temperatures, pressures, speeds, clamp force and cooling to approved process sheets
• Validate first-off parts with quality before handing a stable cycle to production
• Troubleshoot common moulding defects such as flash, short shot, sink, burn marks and warpage
• Coordinate with toolroom and maintenance on tool condition, water leaks, heaters and ancillary faults
• Keep process records updated so repeat runs can be restarted consistently
• Support operators with basic process checks and escalation points during the shift

Requirements

• 3+ years injection moulding setting experience
• Comfortable with Engel & Arburg controls
• Practical understanding of polymers, drying, colour changes and hot-runner systems
• Able to read process sheets, quality standards and basic tool drawings
• FLT / crane / lifting-slinger experience useful for tool moves
