Tool & Die Maker / Die Maintenance Technician

About Scenic Tool & Stamping
Scenic Tool & Stamping is a family-owned precision stamping company with nearly 30 years in business and a team of 40 employees serving a diverse customer base across automotive, medical, electronics, and military industries. In 2019 they opened a new 41,000 sq. ft. facility in the Blue Ridge foothills of Landrum, SC — an organized, clean, and impressive shop environment that their team genuinely enjoys coming to every day. This is a company built on integrity, quality, and doing things right the first time.
The Role
We are recruiting for two openings — a Tool & Die Maker and a Die Maintenance Technician. The skill set for both roles is nearly identical. Some people love building new dies, some love maintaining them, and some do both well — all are welcome. What matters most is your mechanical aptitude, your energy, and your attitude.
Both positions will work directly in the tool and die department maintaining, repairing, and running dies on high-speed progressive stamping presses. You'll troubleshoot die quality issues at the press, identify root causes, and bring solutions to management and engineering.
