About The Position

As a Sheeter Operator, you are the critical link between raw paper rolls and the high- precision printing process. You’ll be responsible for transforming massive rolls of paperboard into perfectly sized, flat sheets, ensuring the highest standards of quality and efficiency for our packaging production.

Requirements

• Technical Aptitude: Experience with industrial machinery (preferably sheeters like Marquip, Goodstrong or Maxson) is a major plus.
• Mathematical Precision: Ability to read a tape measure to 1/32" and perform basic calculations for sheet counts and waste percentages.
• Physical Stamina: Ability to stand for long shifts, lift up to 50 lbs, and work in a fast- paced manufacturing environment.
• Detail Oriented: A "sharp eye" for catching small defects that could cause issues later in the printing or die-cutting stages.
• Safety First: Strict adherence to Lock-Out/Tag-Out (LOTO) procedures and PPE

Responsibilities

• Machine Operation: Set up, calibrate, and operate high-speed sheeting equipment to convert paperboard rolls into precise sheets.
• Quality Control: Constantly monitor sheet dimensions, squareness, and surface quality to prevent defects (e.g., dust, slitting errors, or scuffing).
• Setup & Changeover: Review job tickets to determine specifications (size, weight, grain direction) and perform efficient make-ready transitions between different jobs.
• Maintenance: Perform routine cleaning and basic preventative maintenance on knives, rollers, and belts to ensure optimal machine performance.
• Material Handling: Operate forklifts or roll-clamping equipment to load heavy rolls onto the unwind stands.
• Troubleshooting: Identify and resolve mechanical issues or paper-run jams to minimize downtime.

Benefits

• RRD’s benefit offerings include medical, dental, and vision coverage, paid time off, disability insurance, 401(k) with company match, life insurance and other voluntary supplemental insurance coverages, plus parental leave, adoption assistance, tuition assistance and employer/partner discounts.
