Industrial Blow Mold Machinery Service Technician

KIK products Inc.
Salem, VA

Ready to solve the problems others can’t?

Imagine this: a line stops mid-run, a critical order is on the clock, and the team looks to you. You dive into the diagnostics, isolate a pneumatic fault, swap a component, and the bottles are back to spec within minutes. If that sounds like your kind of challenge, KIK Consumer Products wants you on our second shift.

Why this role matters

KIK builds and packages trusted household and pool care products. Our customers rely on us for cleanliness, safety, and performance. Your expertise in blow molding maintenance keeps our commitments on track—safely and efficiently.

What you’ll tackle

  • Operate and sustain blow molding equipment producing containers in various sizes and colors.
  • Guard quality—monitor bottles and adjust processes to meet stringent specifications.
  • Own changeovers: hang molds, set up machines, and verify readiness to run.
  • Diagnose and fix issues across electrical, hydraulic, and pneumatic systems.
  • Maintain supporting assets: chillers, air compressors, grinders, and blenders.
  • Recommend smarter methods and equipment use to raise efficiency.
  • Communicate problems to supervisors; coach and assist fellow team members to resolve issues quickly.
  • Step in for operators on any shift when coverage is needed.
  • Lead by example on safety, GMP compliance, and housekeeping.
  • Take on additional duties as assigned.

What you’ll bring

  • High school diploma or GED.
  • 3+ years of manufacturing maintenance; experience with blow mold maintenance is a plus.
  • Proven mechanical and electrical troubleshooting/repair chops.
  • Hands-on exposure to plastic extrusion and blow molding.
  • Stamina to stand for long stretches; ability to lift and carry up to 60 lbs with twisting.
  • Comfort working in non-temperature-controlled and temperature-controlled areas; may encounter higher noise levels depending on location.
  • Ability to wear a full-face respirator when required.
  • Committed to Health & Safety GMP regulations and willing to work overtime when necessary.

Pay that reflects your impact

Earn $30.00–$35.00 per hour, plus an extra $0.75/hour for hours worked after 1st shift. Receive a $3,000 sign-on bonus and be eligible for a 3% quarterly incentive. Compensation is negotiable based on your experience and skill set.

Benefits and career growth

Access comprehensive medical, wellness, dental, vision, life, and disability benefits. Plan for tomorrow with a retirement program featuring a company match. Grow your skills through our Education Assistance program.

Who we are

We produce and market brands people know and trust—like Spic and Span® and Comet®—and we manufacture Clorox® Pool&Spa™ (under license), BioGuard®, and Natural Chemistry® pool chemicals. With 16 sites across North America and operations in Canada, Europe, and Australia, we’re also the #1 private-label bleach producer in North America and a leading private-label partner for laundry, dish, and home care products.
