Machine Operator Print Finishing

We’re looking for a reliable, detail-focused Machine Operator to join our print-production team at Print Guys in Eden Terrace.

You’ll operate a range of print-finishing equipment, including platens, perfect binders, folding machines, Duplos and other production machinery.

Previous experience with these machines is an advantage but isn’t essential. We’re looking for someone who is mechanically minded, process-driven, quick to learn and able to work accurately in a busy production environment.

Some machines can be left running once they have been set up correctly. You’ll be expected to use that time productively by setting up or operating other equipment while continuing to monitor each job. This role suits someone who takes initiative, stays organised and can safely manage several tasks without sacrificing quality.

 

$23.95/hour + 8% holiday page = $25.86/hour

• Meet production targets and deadlines
• Identify and report machinery or quality issues
• Pack completed jobs and prepare them for dispatch
• Assist with general print-production and finishing tasks
• Keep machinery and work areas clean, organised and safe

What We’re Looking For

• Mechanically minded with practical problem-solving skills
• A quick learner who is confident working with machinery
• Strong attention to detail and pride in producing quality work
• Process-driven and able to follow instructions accurately
• Productive and able to use downtime effectively
• Able to manage multiple tasks while maintaining quality
• Reliable, energetic and committed to getting the job done
• Comfortable with repetitive production work
• Good time management and the ability to meet deadlines
• Physically capable of standing for extended periods and handling materials
