- Stripping, cleaning, inspecting, and rebuilding tools ready for production
- Diagnosing tooling faults and carrying out repairs
- Completing preventative maintenance to maximise tool life and reliability
- Supporting tool change activities when required
- Recording maintenance work and tooling history accurately
- Working closely with production and engineering teams to support manufacturing performance

What We're Looking For
- Previous experience as a Tool Asset Care Technician, Tool Room Technician, Toolmaker, or similar tooling-focused role
- Strong mechanical aptitude and a hands-on approach
- Experience maintaining and repairing production tooling
- Injection moulding tooling experience would be advantageous
- Ability to work independently and manage workload effectively
- Good attention to detail and a methodical approach to maintenance
- Reliable, proactive, and committed to high standards
- Someone looking for a flexible engineering role without stepping away from practical engineering work
Flexible part-time days
- 2430 hours per week
- Flexible 3 or 4 day working week
- Working days can be discussed
- Occasional weekend working required
- Overtime available when needed
If you're an experienced Toolmaker, Tool Room Technician, or Tool Asset Care Technician looking for a flexible role where your experience is valued and your work-life balance matters, we'd love to hear from you.
