A press operator role requires hard work, attention to detail, and a commitment to showing up for work on time five days a week. Press operators are at the core of any plastic injection molding shop, and production cannot go on without them! Plastic injection molding work needs to be consistent, and a press operator must stay focused on executing their production cycle properly each and every time. Rather than attempt to do things their own way, a successful press operator will be able to attentively follow instructions for repeated work processes.

A press operator is an important job function that plays a critical role in producing and delivering quality injection molded plastic parts. Press operator positions can also be a great launching pad for a career in plastics.  In this blog, we explain what it means to be a press operator, what skills they need, and who might be a good fit to apply for press operator roles.

A press operator runs the plastic injection molding machines used to make plastic parts, ensures the process is completed smoothly, and prepares each finished part for packaging. As the primary production machine operator in plastic molding, the press operator is vital to the entire process.  Consistency is key in this role. In addition to running the molding machines, press operators perform   quality checks of finished parts, helping ensure components will function as intended. Press operators perform a visual inspection to check parts for conformance to specific quality standards.   As part of their day-to-day work, the press operator will also collaborate with their shift supervisor and Quality Technician as issues arise with their equipment or product.  Compared to some manufacturing jobs, an injection molding facility is clean and safe. Steel-toed work boots are not generally required, and the most dangerous equipment a press operator is likely to use is a utility knife or Gate cutter.
