Wide Format Print & CNC Production Lead

Kansas City, MO | On-site | Full-time | Hourly

We’re looking for a  hands-on Production Lead to run daily operations at our Kansas City manufacturing location. This role is ideal for someone who knows large format print production inside and out — printing, cutting, finishing, and assembly.

You’ll be responsible for maintaining and running equipment, ensuring quality, managing materials, and organizing work so it's completed accurately and on schedule. This is not a desk job — this is a working lead role for someone who likes building great products and keeping things running smoothly.

What You’ll Do

• Operate large-format printers, cutters, and finishing equipment
• Execute daily production schedules and priorities
• Perform quality checks on all finished work
• Maintain and troubleshoot production equipment
• Manage materials, inventory, and ordering
• Keep the shop clean, organized, and efficient
• Communicate job status and production needs clearly
• Support and guide 1–2 production team members

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of hands-on production or print experience
• Strong attention to detail and pride in quality work
• Experience maintaining production equipment
• Ability to manage multiple jobs and deadlines
• Comfortable working independently and taking ownership
• Clear communication and strong organizational skills

Why This Role

• High level of ownership and autonomy
• Small, focused production team
• Opportunity to shape and grow a local operation
• Work with a company that values craftsmanship, innovation, and collaboration
