We're hiring an experienced Press Operator to run our 10-colour flexographic printing press and take pride in every roll that leaves it.
If you thrive on a fast-paced floor, sweat the small details and want a clear path to higher-skilled, higher-paid roles, this is your next move. This is a new position as we continue to grow. Pay range $31.68 to $35.70 per hour.
Safety is how we work here, not a slogan. Everyone on our team follows all workplace regulations, policies and initiatives, and brings strong communication skills and a drive for continuous improvement.
What You'll Do
- Set it up right. Install plates and cylinders, adjust pressure, and lock in alignment and registration on our 10-colour flexo press.
- Keep eyes on the run. Constantly check the machine's running conditions and the job being printed.
- Catch problems early. Watch for print defects or spills from a doctor blade failure, pull the roll, and use the camera spot-check detection system to inspect for metal contaminants at least three times (a few minutes each) per printed roll.
- Measure every roll. Verify repeat length at the end of each print roll.
- Keep the ink in the zone. Maintain ink viscosity, ink levels and the flow of every ink pump in use, and set up and maintain the automatic viscosity control system.
- Keep equipment running clean. Make sure all rollers and B.C. dryers work properly and are free of obstructions.
- Flag it, fix it. Mark defects in a roll with flags and reports, and remove them before the roll moves to the next process.
- Check the coating. Test the treat or saran coating of each roll after a mill roll splice.
- Nail the colour. Take samples from every printed roll and use the x-rite to set and monitor colour to customer specification and for future reference.
- Hand off a clean press. Leave the press and surrounding areas in good order for the incoming shift.
- Pitch in. Take on any other duties assigned by your Supervisor.
Your Schedule
Days, nights, and plenty of time to recharge. This role runs on a 12-hour rotating shift over a four-week cycle, with scheduled days off built in.
- Day shift: 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
- Night shift: 6:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.
- Physical demands: Lifting up to 40 pounds, plus walking and standing for long periods.
Why You'll Love It
- Hands-on, supported learning. Work in a team-oriented environment where people help each other.
- Skills that last. Build technical skills that set you up for long-term career success.
- Group benefits. Coverage starts after you complete a 3-month probationary period
- A team that has fun. Company incentives, events and ideas to boost collaboration and morale.
Who You Are
You're a fast-paced learner and a team player who likes helping others succeed, and you hold safety, quality and continuous improvement as your own standards.
What you bring:
- High school education
- 5+ years of press operator experience
- 5+ years of relevant production and/or manufacturing experience
- Experience with a W&H Miraflex press is an asset
