Press Operator - 2nd Shift
About The Position
Run Heidelberg presses in Seaway Printing’s state-of-the-art pressroom, located in a new, climate-controlled building. No printing background is required; Seaway provides paid on-the-job training until employees can set up, make ready, and run a Heidelberg press independently. Seaway produces magazines, books, journals, and manuals for publishers, associations, and national distribution partners. The position works second shift, Monday through Friday, from 2:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., plus every third Saturday as needed. Shifts are eight hours. Pay is $22.00–$32.00 per hour, plus a $3.00-per-hour second-shift differential. Benefits begin on day 60, and 401(k) company matching is available after six months. Success is measured by safety, quality, productivity against planned OEE and on-time delivery, and skill development that reduces operator-related downtime. Seaway’s stated values are integrity, courage, excellence, and teamwork.
