About The Position

We are looking for an experienced Offset Press Operator who can jump in as needed to support our print production team. This is a part-time or on-call role, ideal for a seasoned press operator who values flexibility and knows how to keep a pressroom running clean and tight. This is not a training position. We need someone who can be productive from the minute they walk in, with minimal ramp-up. If you’re an experienced offset press operator looking to stay active in print without the full-time grind, we’d love to have you on call.
