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.
