A growing automotive parts manufacturer is hiring a Tool & Die Maker for 2nd shift at its metal stamping plant in Oxford, Alabama. The plant makes complex steel stampings and welded assemblies for automotive seat frames, and it is adding 60,000 square feet and larger stamping presses, so the tooling team is growing with it.

This is a repair and troubleshooting role, not a build-from-scratch role. The plant's dies are made elsewhere; you keep them running. When a part comes off the press with a burr or out of spec, you find the cause in the die, whether it's a dull punch, a worn cutter or a rail out of alignment, and fix it. Experienced tool and die makers and machinists who have worked with steel are a great fit.

What You'll Do

• Troubleshoot, repair, adjust and test production stamping dies to restore part quality and keep presses running
• Replace and fit punches, cutters, rails and other die components
• Run mills, lathes, surface grinders and drill presses to make and fit parts
• Read prints and check work with calipers and other precision measuring tools
• Perform preventive maintenance on dies and tool room equipment and document repairs
• Work with Production, Quality and Maintenance to cut downtime and improve die performance
• Work safely: lockout/tagout, press safety blocks, PPE and 5S

• 5+ years of hands-on tool and die or machinist experience working with steel or other metals (plastics and injection molding backgrounds do not qualify)
• Hands-on with mills, grinders and lathes
• Able to read blueprints and use calipers and other precision measuring tools
• Able to troubleshoot problems in tooling or machinery
• Able to work 2nd shift, Monday to Thursday 3:00 PM to 1:30 AM, plus Friday overtime when scheduled

• Medical, dental and vision insurance
• Short-term and long-term disability
