Print Technician and Design Specialist

Job Overview

Are you someone who loves jumping between the computer screen and the production floor? We are looking for a versatile, hands-on Print Production Specialist & Graphic Designer who thrives in a fast-paced environment.

We aren't looking to pigeonhole you into just one task. Instead, we need a "Swiss Army Knife"—someone who is exceptionally talented in Adobe Illustrator with a heavy focus on wide-format printing and signage, but who is equally comfortable rolling up their sleeves to run and troubleshoot regular digital presses. If you love the blend of creative layout design and the tactile satisfaction of making physical products come to life, this is the role for you.

What You'll Do (The Variety)

• Design & Prepress: Jump into Adobe Illustrator (and the broader Creative Suite) to create, tweak, and prep files. You'll handle layout, typography, and prepress checks to ensure everything looks sharp and prints flawlessly.
• Wide-Format & Signage: Produce eye-catching banners, signs, and wide-format materials from print to finishing touches.
• Digital Press Operation: Set up, run, and monitor regular digital presses to pump out high-quality short-run jobs efficiently.
• Finishing & Fabrication: It’s not just printing—you’ll handle the finishing touches like trimming, mounting, cutting, and assembling the final product.
• Mechanical Troubleshooting: Use your mechanical aptitude to keep machines running smoothly, clear jams, perform basic maintenance, and troubleshoot hiccups on the fly.
• Quality Control: Keep a eagle eye on color management and overall quality so that nothing leaves the shop unless it looks amazing.

What We're Looking For (The Skills)

• Illustrator Expert: Advanced proficiency in Adobe Illustrator, specifically tailored for print prepress, wide-format layouts, and signage production.
• Press Experience: Hands-on experience operating wide-format printers and standard digital presses.
• Mechanical Mindset: A natural knack for tinkering, adjusting industrial equipment, and solving equipment issues quickly.
• Color & Detail Oriented: Strong grasp of color management, calibration, and meticulous attention to detail.
• The "Maker" Attitude: Flexibility, a willingness to wear multiple hats, and a genuine enjoyment of a dynamic, shifting daily workflow.

Why Join Us?

If you get bored doing the exact same thing every single day and want a role where your design eye and mechanical skills are both put to the test, you’ll fit right in here. Help us turn creative ideas into tangible, high-impact products!
