We are seeking a hands-on Technical Manager with deep expertise in Extrusion Blow Molding (EBM) and Injection Stretch Blow Molding (ISBM) processes to join our team at our newly acquired Springfield, MA manufacturing facility. This individual will be the go-to processing expert, helping to optimize production, troubleshoot technical challenges, and support the integration of systems and processes post-acquisition.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Serve as the on-site technical authority for all EBM and ISBM processing.

  • Proven track record of hands-on troubleshooting and process optimization.
  • Excellent communication and documentation skills.
  • Ability to work cross-functionally with production, maintenance, and leadership teams.
