Requirements

Strong math skills with the ability to accurately count, verify, and reconcile quantities by size and color against production tickets.
Legible handwriting for completing inspector production sheets and other required documentation.
Ability to distinguish colors accurately to identify print defects and verify color correctness against order specifications.
Ability to stand for extended periods throughout a full production shift in a manufacturing environment.

Strong attention to detail with the ability to identify defects, misprints, and cure issues and take appropriate corrective action without prompting.
Ability to work collaboratively with press operators and team members, communicating clearly and professionally in a fast-paced production setting.

Responsibilities

Partner closely with press operators and team members during setup, production runs, and tear-down, communicating clearly when quality issues arise and when it is safe to resume or conclude production.
Assist teammates throughout the screen take-down and press setup process, contributing to a clean, organized, and efficient work area that supports the broader production team.
Escalate discrepancies in quantities or quality to supervisors promptly and accurately, ensuring the team can respond quickly and avoid downstream errors.
Uphold the quality of every licensed garment by inspecting for print defects and cure issues, protecting the fan experience by ensuring only correctly printed merchandise reaches shipping.
Verify accuracy of quantity by size and color against the screen print ticket, ensuring fans receive exactly the product that was ordered.
Ensure all misprints and defective garments are replaced before screens are taken down, preventing flawed product from advancing in the fulfillment process.
Apply heat seal labels as required and perform garment touch-ups and clean-ups, maintaining the presentation standards fans expect from officially licensed merchandise.

Identify and communicate discrepancies between ticket specifications and actual quantities, contributing to process accuracy and continuous improvement on the production floor.
Support ongoing improvements in folding, packing, and inspection workflows by consistently following defined steps — folding in sixes or twelves, stacking for secondary printing, or placing bundles into buggies, boxes, or crates — without combining steps.
Complete all required information on the inspector production sheet accurately and obtain supervisor signatures for downtime and allowances, maintaining accountability and production records.
Manage the full lifecycle of each production order from test print through final verification, confirming quantity, print quality, and cure before communicating order completion to the operator.
