Working alongside an experienced Tooling Manager, you will gain exposure to wider departmental responsibilities, with a clear development pathway into a future management position over the next 2-3 years. This role suits someone who enjoys the technical side of tooling but wants to progress their career and take on more responsibility in the future. Key Responsibilities Manufacture, modify and repair tooling, moulds and patterns. Produce high-quality tooling solutions from technical drawings, CAD data and customer specifications. Work with a range of materials including metals, resins, modelling boards and composite materials. Support new product development projects from concept through to production. Carry out tooling maintenance, fault diagnosis, and problem- solving. Collaborate with production, engineering and sales teams to optimise tooling performance. Operate and work within CNC machining environments using CAD/CAM software, including Mastercam. Assist with continuous improvement initiatives across the tooling department. Support the Tooling Manager and contribute towards future departmental development. What We're Looking For We are open to speaking with candidates from a variety of tooling backgrounds, including: Toolmaker Senior Toolmaker Pattern Maker Mould Maker Composite Toolmaker Tooling Technician Tooling Engineer Prototype Toolmaker Development Toolmaker Successful candidates are likely to demonstrate experience in some or all of the following: Toolmaking, mould making or pattern making. CNC machining environments. CAD/CAM software. Reading and interpreting technical drawings. Welding and fabrication. Tool repair and modification. Problem- solving within a manufacturing environment Supporting production and new product development activities. Leadership experience is not essential. However, we are particularly interested in speaking with individuals who have mentored colleagues, supported apprentices, acted as a technical lead or are keen to progress into leadership and management in the future. Why Apply? - Newly created role. - Genuine succession planning opportunity. - Clear pathway into future departmental leadership. - Salary reviewed annually. - Stable and growing manufacturing business. - Early finish every Friday. - Opportunity to work on varied and technically interesting projects. - Long-term career development and progression. If you're an experienced Toolmaker, Pattern Maker or Mould Maker looking for more than just another tooling role, we'd love to hear from you.
