Job description

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
