Press Operator Entry/Mid Level

Commercial Printer For Direct Mail Industry

Our client is a well-established, high-end commercial printer for the direct mail industry, with a client base that includes multiple Fortune 500 companies. With decades of operation and sustained growth, this is a stable, team-oriented environment where skilled press professionals can thrive. In this role, you'll support the lead Operator in producing envelopes that meet rigorous quality standards while maintaining optimum press speeds and minimal downtime.

What You'll Do

You'll work alongside a lead Operator to keep production running smoothly and on spec. Day-to-day, that looks like:

• Setting up and operating sheet-fed offset printing presses, including installing and securing press components by hand
• Making adjustments to press parts and mechanisms to keep feeds clean and consistent
• Performing routine cleaning and maintenance - ink rollers, blankets, fountains - using standard press solvents
• Swapping out worn parts and making minor repairs with guidance from senior operators
• Assisting with color and registration corrections before and during runs to make sure every job meets quality standards

You're a Great Fit If Any of These Apply...

• You've worked on a press crew before and know what it means to support a lead operator without needing to be hand-held or you come from a trades background (mechanical, industrial, manufacturing) and pick up equipment quickly
• You're the kind of person who fixes things at home, knows your way around hand tools, and instincts kick in when something doesn't sound or feel right on a machine
• You catch things: a color that's slightly off, a feed that doesn't feel right, a roller that needs attention
• You show up consistently and take ownership of your part of the job, even when no one's watching
