PRESS OPERATOR

We’re looking to hire an experienced Automatic Press Operator to join our ranks. 

Our print team is the backbone of our shop and we’re looking for an important role in that operation. As a Press Operator, you’ll be the one to take all of the details of the process and bring them to the real world. Since you’re experienced, you know that this position can be a lot of work, requires you to be on your toes (sometimes literally), and is instantly gratifying with each squeegee pass. It’s not for everyone, though, that’s why you have a strong work ethic, work well under pressure, and have a passion to help bring ideas to life. 

If this all resonates with you… you may be the teammate we’re looking for.

WHAT YOU'LL DO 

• Task Management: Manage the appropriate workflows for print schedule
• Job Verification: Verify job schedule and details including garment size, type, and color, print placement, ink type, and color
• Job Setup: Set up jobs according to appropriate specs. This includes registering, ensuring proper screen order, squeegee pressure and speed, flash settings, tacking pallets, etc.  
• Press Operation: Operate & maintain automatic and manual presses. This includes loading, unloading, maintaining ink levels during run, performing quality control checks, and quickly resolving issues that arise on press
• Maintain Standards: Maintain cleanliness of print area and equipment
