Mold Designer

A Mold Designer Can Pursue a Variety of Job Opportunities in Manufacturing

Within the manufacturing sector, one of the critical elements for success rests with the capacity to repeatedly produce a high volume of parts or components in a cost-efficient and time-efficient manner.  This is often accomplished through the use of a template, or a mold; after the initial investment in a mold, the manufacturer can use it on a recurring basis for the purposes of volume/mass production and, ultimately, revenue generation.

However, if that mold is poor constructed, has design flaws, or breaks down routinely, it can have an adverse effect on production efficiencies and on projected revenues as well.  Therefore, the mold designer role takes on significant importance in ensuring that such unwanted and detrimental circumstances are avoided.

Individuals in these roles use computer-aided design (or CAD) software and technologies to devise/design molds that are used for the production of everyday items.  These molds are most often used in fabricating parts/components made from plastic or thermoplastic materials but can also be applied in processes using molten metals or rubbers/polymers.

The competitive demands faced by manufacturers, irrespective of their specific markets, necessitate the ongoing development of new or refined parts, products, and/or processes to meet buyer needs while simultaneously improving delivery times and reducing costs. Consequently, employment opportunities for mold designers, while not entirely limitless, are indeed extensive; a cross-section of the industries that require the services of skilled mold designers would include:

The educational background for mold designer jobs is often a two-year program in either manufacturing technology or plastics engineering technology, with specific emphasis on such courses of study as:

Mold designers customarily work in office-based settings, although some time might also be spent in laboratories or manufacturing facilities to assess the precision and/or efficacy of their designs.  In light of the latter responsibilities, mold designers would benefit from proficiencies in problem solving, customer service, and project management.

Manufacturers Will Often Use Recruitment Agencies to Fill Mold Designer Jobs

Whether someone is looking to launch or further a career as a mold designer, there can be significant competition for such jobs in the manufacturing sector.  Due to the nature and importance of the role to their overall business, employers look to attract and retain talented individuals with the necessary education and/or experience for their respective industries.

As a result, many of these employers frequently contract the services of an experienced staffing agency, such as Winters Technical Staffing, to manage the recruiting and hiring processes for mold designer positions; these recruitment practices are often favoured by employers who believe that such specialized searches might be overly time-consuming and cost-prohibitive if they were to use in-house resources.  Furthermore, many of these mold designer job openings are not openly advertised by the employers, adding another level of difficulty for job seekers.
