We are currently recruiting for a Hands-On Toolroom Manager to join a trade moulding company based in Derby. This is a full-time position working 37.5 hours per week, Monday to Friday. The company has an internal toolroom that supports production within the mould shop. While tooling is not manufactured in-house, the toolroom is responsible for tool repair, refurbishment, insert changes, and the ongoing maintenance of production tooling.
This is a hands-on role that combines practical tooling responsibilities with the management and coordination of the toolroom function. Key responsibilities include:
- Managing the day-to-day operation and planning of the internal toolroom
- Supporting tool repair, refurbishment, maintenance, and insert changes
- Coordinating with external toolmakers and tooling suppliers
- Overseeing tooling manufactured in China
- Managing the introduction of new tooling into the business
- Supporting production by ensuring tooling availability and performance
Ideally you’ll have supervised or managed a toolroom already, but senior experienced toolmakers with good people skills may also be considered for this role.
