Toolmaking & Design
We connect organisations with toolmakers who design and create moulds and tools that keep manufacturing precise and reliable.
At McGlynn Personnel, toolmaking & design focuses on the expertise behind jigs, fixtures, dies and moulds that underpin efficient production. We work with manufacturers that depend on robust, accurately designed tooling to maintain quality, minimise downtime and support new product introductions.
Our emphasis is on toolmakers and designers who can move from concept and CAD through to manufacturing, fitting and validation, collaborating closely with engineering, production and maintenance teams.
- Shortlists centred on hands-on toolroom experience, CAD/CAM skills and practical understanding of manufacturing processes.
- Support for roles across mould tooling, press tools, jigs, fixtures and special-purpose tooling.
- Balanced focus on design quality, fit and function, maintainability and long-term reliability in production.
Our Toolmaking & Design
Our toolmaking & design focus supports organisations that rely on well-designed tools and moulds to keep production stable and efficient. We help employers build teams that can design, manufacture, maintain and improve tooling, and we support professionals who want to grow their careers in precision engineering and toolroom environments.
For Employers
We work with you to define tooling responsibilities, from new tool design and manufacture through to repair, modification and continuous improvement. Our shortlists consider CAD/CAM proficiency, hands-on machining skills, product complexity and the pace of change within your production environment.
Particularly useful when introducing new products, extending tool life or reducing downtime caused by tooling issues.
