Press Operator 1 (Sheeter Operator)

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.

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.

• 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
