• Produce print‑ready artwork that supports multiple production and printing machines across the facility.
• Manage a high volume of incoming work while maintaining strong organization and clear prioritization in a fast‑moving environment.
• Collaborate closely with manufacturing and print teams to support production schedules and operational timelines.
• Support ramp‑up activities for a newly installed printer by adapting files and workflows to evolving processes and specifications.
• Maintain meticulous attention to detail to minimize errors and rework in production files.
• Adapt quickly to changes in processes, specifications, and workflows as the operation grows and evolves.
  
  

Essential Skills

• Experience working in graphic production, print production, or prepress environments.
• Strong working knowledge of Adobe Photoshop.
• Strong working knowledge of Adobe Acrobat and PDF preparation for print.
• Proven ability to take existing artwork and make it fully print‑ready for various production and printing machines.
• High attention to detail and accuracy in preparing and reviewing production files.
• Comfort working in a high‑volume, deadline‑driven environment.
• Strong organizational and time‑management skills to handle multiple jobs and priorities.
• Ability to adapt quickly as processes, equipment, and workflows evolve.
  
  

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Experience with Adobe Illustrator and the broader Adobe Creative Suite.
• Background in graphic design, rendering, or digital graphics.
• Experience working with signage or similar large‑format print applications.
• Familiarity with tools such as SketchUp or similar design/rendering software.
• Ability to collaborate effectively with cross‑functional teams in production and manufacturing.
• Motivation to grow within a graphic production and print environment and build long‑term skills.
