Please note: This position is located at Quad's CR/T manufacturing facility in Hartford, WI, and is not located at the Quad print plant off Highway 60.

Looking for a stable manufacturing career with competitive pay, excellent benefits, and a schedule that gives you more time off?

Quad's Chemical Research/Technology (CR/T) facility in Hartford, WI, is hiring a Night Shift Machine Operator trainee to help produce the inks used in Quad printing operations across the country. No ink manufacturing experience? That's okay—we provide training for motivated individuals who are ready to learn and grow.

What You'll Earn

  • Starting pay of $20.00/hour or more , based on experience
  • Overtime opportunities available

 

Schedule

  • Night Shift: 7:00 AM - 3:00 PM
  • Monday - Friday
  • Enjoy a consistent 5-day work week  

 

What You'll Do


As part of our manufacturing team, you'll help produce specialty inks and resins using industrial equipment and processes. Responsibilities include:

  • Operating manufacturing equipment and production systems
  • Loading raw materials and monitoring production processes
  • Operating forklifts (training available)
  • Unloading tanker trucks and railcars
  • Maintaining a safe, clean, and organized work environment
  • Working closely with teammates to meet production goals

     

 

What We're Looking For

  • Ability to work an 8-hour day shift schedule
  • Ability to lift 50 pounds or more
  • Basic math skills
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team
  • Comfortable working in a manufacturing environment
  • Forklift experience is a plus, but not required
  • Manufacturing experience is helpful, but we will train the right candidate

 

Why Join Quad?

  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • Company-paid life insurance and disability coverage
  • Paid time off and paid parental leave
  • 401(k) with annual discretionary company match
  • Adoption and surrogacy assistance
  • Pet insurance and additional voluntary benefits
  • Opportunities for advancement and skill development
