As the lead operator, you will take full responsibility for the press and crew during production, ensuring jobs are completed safely, efficiently, on time, and to specification.

Experience with large-format flexographic printing considered a strong asset
Strong understanding of print registration, ink mixing, colour matching, and press setup
Experience printing on paper substrates, especially uncoated kraft paper, is preferred
Experience with water-based inks preferred
Able to identify and troubleshoot common print defects and press issues
Mechanically inclined and comfortable making minor press adjustments
Able to lead a press crew and take ownership of production quality and output
Dependable, detail-oriented, and able to work in a fast-paced manufacturing environment
Strong communication skills and a team-first attitude
Able to stand for long periods and lift up to 50 lbs as required

What We Offer

Competitive hourly pay based on experience
Opportunity for overtime
6% vacation pay
