OVERVIEW
The Press Service Coordinator supports press operators to enable safe, efficient, and high-quality printing operations.

Performance in this role directly affects production uptime, waste/scrap, asset longevity through disciplined execution of standard work, compliance with Company policies/procedure and Occupational Health & Safety (OHS) requirements.

- Participate in month-end physical counts for plates, dies, and inks as assigned, assist in reconciling variances, and propose corrective actions such as re-indexing locations, updating signage, or adjusting handling practices.
