I am a small startup that has been in business for around 3 years. I need to make molds out of steel for injection molding, as well as learn how to make them myself. The shop is incredibly small at right around 800sqft and I only have 1 machine a HAAS VM3. I can procure whatever tools the worker needs or the worker can bring their own. Also I can reveal my company name and more details about what we do via PM if anyone is interested. I will be upfront this job will be a contractor position and will be on a per project basis until either I and or my father can learn how to make injection molds on our own. After this we will have spot machining jobs available. I am offering 25 dollars an hour and this job has no benefits.

Being that neither I nor my father have experience machining, this will be a pretty in depth mentoring job, and will require someone who can take a job from start to finish. I will need someone who can take 3d models, and create the injection molds I design from Solidworks. As this seems to be a particular skill set that not many seem to posses I am open to negotiation. I fully understand this will be many hours and might require multiple projects to learn. So this might be quite a lucrative side job or way to earn some money while you look or a way to make some extra cash while retired. Regardless of the reason if you are an experienced Mold Maker and are in the Kemah area I am interested. PM me if interested in the job and want to talk more. See below for a generic description of what I am looking for:

Minimum of five years mold making experience.
