About The Position

Great screenprint work depends on having the right art support at the right moment. As a Floor Support Production Artist at our Detroit Lakes headquarters, you will be the art resource closest to the press. You will respond to production questions, study the approved artwork and order details, and make precise file corrections that help the team continue printing with confidence. This role is built for someone who likes variety, urgency, and visible results. You may send screens to the Burn Room, review a pellon or comp against a work order, correct a namedrop, rebuild an underlay, adjust a mesh count or ink rotation, and document an error for follow-up. Because Detroit Lakes supports a large mix of resort and collegiate screenprint work, you will move between priorities while keeping accuracy and communication front and center. This full-time position works onsite at Lakeshirts headquarters in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota. Floor Support must be present with Production, so remote work is not available.

Strong organization and follow-through when priorities shift or several requests arrive at once.
Clear, respectful communication with artists, production team members, leads, and quality partners.
Ability to make sound decisions independently while knowing when to ask a lead for direction.
Reliable, flexible, welcoming, and ready to contribute to a team-first work environment.
Employee must be able to see, hear, read, write, communicate clearly, use good judgment, stay organized, adapt to changing priorities, and work with patience, professionalism, reliability, flexibility, and a helpful team-first attitude.
