  • Production Metrics: Meet or exceed daily production goals, maintain press efficiency KPIs, and track waste reduction as part of lean manufacturing initiatives.
  • Problem Solving: Diagnose and correct mechanical or print-related issues in real time to avoid production delays and reduce spoilage.
  • Collaboration: Work closely with prepress, finishing, and QA departments to align print output with design intent and customer expectations.
  • Documentation & Reporting: Accurately document press settings, quality control data, and maintenance activities for traceability and continuous improvement initiatives.

Core Competencies and Skills

  • Extensive experience operating Heidelberg multicolor offset presses in a high-volume production environment.
