We are not necessarily looking for the most experienced operator in the industry. We are looking for someone who understands the fundamentals of operating an automatic press, can set up and run multicolor jobs, and has the drive to become an exceptional press operator.

Our shop produces high-level simulated-process and complex multicolor printing. We are looking for our next rockstar—someone with the right foundation, work ethic and attitude who is ready to learn from an experienced team and develop advanced printing skills.

This is an excellent opportunity for an operator who has outgrown their current position or wants to move beyond basic production printing.

However, you must have genuine automatic press experience and be capable of setting up and running a six-color job.

We value operators who are dependable, coachable, quality-minded and motivated to improve. If you already have the fundamentals and are ready to become a higher-level press operator, we would like to hear from you.
