Job description

Location: Halifax, Elland, HX5 9JP Hours: Full-time, day shift Working Pattern: Full-time, On-site 5 days per week Contract: Permanent careers.asafe.com

Are you a time-served, apprentice-trained toolmaker who enjoys hands-on problem solving, keeping complex tooling running and seeing the difference your work makes on the shop floor?

As a Toolroom Technician at A-SAFE, you’ll assist in the maintenance, modification and management of all product-specific tooling across the business. This is a practical, hands-on role at the heart of our manufacturing operation, where the tools you look after produce safety-critical products used in industrial environments worldwide.

You’ll work closely with our Toolroom and Process Engineers, Production, Quality and New Product Introduction teams, as well as external toolmakers, to keep our tooling reliable, safe and continuously improving.

How you will make an impact:

  • You’ll help create, maintain and review the routine maintenance schedule for all A-SAFE tooling.
  • You’ll help create and maintain a tooling checklist to be used in all routine maintenance activities.
  • You’ll monitor tooling spares, ensuring stock is always available.
  • You’ll carry out tooling modifications that deliver tangible scrap and process improvements.
  • You’ll diagnose tool failures quickly and accurately, understanding the effect on component quality.
  • You’ll support all tooling-related CAD/CAM activities.
  • You’ll support the New Product Introduction process for all tooling requirements.
  • You’ll assist the Toolroom and Process Engineers in the training and development of apprentices.
  • You’ll attend off-site trials as required.
  • You’ll liaise with external toolmakers to discuss repairs and modifications.
  • You’ll ensure all health, safety and environmental policies are always adhered to.

What we are looking for:

  • Extensive injection mould toolroom experience, ideally 10 years or more.
  • Apprentice-trained toolmaker.
  • Skilled in the use of manual machinery for tooling repairs and modifications (turret mill, lathe and surface grinder).
  • Able to read and interpret engineering drawings.
  • Flexible and adaptable in approach, with the ability to learn quickly.
  • Able to work safely on your own initiative, owning problems and finding solutions.
  • A team player who communicates effectively with a range of stakeholders across the business.
  • The role is initially days based, with a view to moving to a shift pattern in the future to help provide 24-hour support to production.

Desirable experience:

  • Previous rotational moulding, extrusion and PU elastomer pouring experience.
  • Experience of crane use to manipulate, strip and assemble large moulds up to 40 tonnes.
  • Skilled in the use of CNC milling machines for tooling repairs and modifications.
  • Basic electrical knowledge to enable work on heater elements within moulds.

You’ll also bring:

  • A meticulous, detail-focused approach without losing sight of the bigger picture.
  • A practical, ‘can-do’ mindset and the confidence to get stuck in.
  • Pride in the quality and reliability of your work.
  • The ability to organise and prioritise planned maintenance alongside reactive repairs.
  • A collaborative approach — this is not a “work in isolation” role.

Why you’ll love working with us: A-SAFE invented the world’s first industrial-strength polymer safety barrier, revolutionising workplace safety, and we’ve been improving world standards ever since — including our next generation RackEye IoT safety device. Global blue-chip companies use our products, including Coca-Cola, BMW, Jaguar Land Rover, Amazon and Heathrow Airport.

You’ll join a skilled, close-knit Toolroom where your trade is genuinely valued, working on large and varied tooling in a growing manufacturing business with a true global presence across the USA, Japan, Australia, Europe and the UAE. We are known for our innovation and our ‘can-do’ attitude — a place where talent can thrive and develop as we grow.

At A-SAFE we put our values at the heart of the business: We are Pioneers. We do the Right Thing. We are in it Together.

We have a great track record of developing talent, offering training, professional study support and career opportunities. Our benefits package includes up to 25 days holiday plus bank holidays, a competitive salary, pension, flexible start and finish times (depending on role), childcare vouchers and a cycle to work scheme. If you take pride in keeping tooling running, enjoy variety in your working day and want your skills to make a real difference, this role is for you.

NO AGENCIES PLEASE. We do not accept speculative agency CVs. Any CV received by us from an agency will be treated as a gift and not eligible for any fee.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
