Job Description

Step into the Pressroom: A Day in This Role

You arrive for 2nd shift ready to keep production moving. First stop: the day’s schedule. You stage the correct paper, verify each load against tags and specs, and set the feeder so sheets track cleanly. As the run starts, you fine-tune double-sheet detection and pressure, watch paper flow, and support the Pressman through every changeover. You top off ink and water, swap plates, label and store them post-run, and keep blankets and key components clean. Between jobs, you handle basic preventive maintenance and make sure the area is organized and safe.

At Oliver Inc., we’ve honed the craft of printing and packaging for more than 250 years across multiple facilities. We invest in modern, sustainable technology to deliver speed, consistency, and the nimbleness our customers depend on.
