  • Operate large- and small-format digital printers (flatbed and roll-to-roll) 
  • Run vinyl and material cutters (plotters, digital cutters, Zund/X-Acto-style, etc.)
  • Assist in finishing tasks such as laminating, trimming, mounting, and assembly
  • Monitor production quality and make adjustments as needed
  • Maintain equipment through regular cleaning and minor troubleshooting
  • Collaborate with team to meet tight project deadlines
  • Work with various substrates including foamboard, vinyl, acrylic, styrene, and more
     
Qualifications:


  • 1–2+ years of experience in digital print production, cutting, or finishing 
  • Familiarity with ERP software
  • Strong attention to detail and ability to multitask under pressure 
  • Reliable, punctual, and able to work independently and in a team 
  • Physically capable of lifting up to 50 lbs
  • Bonus: experience with CNC cutters, laser cutters, or retail signage production
     
What We Offer:
 
  • Stable full-time hours with potential for overtime
  • Supportive, team-driven work environment
  • Opportunities for skill development and advancement 
  • A chance to be part of a growing company with long-term vision
